Taxmann Cracker Combo Papers 5 to 8 (Law/BLE, FA, DITX/DT & IDT, and CA) Set of 4 Books for CMA Intermediate

CRACKER COMBO for CMA Intermediate – Group I | Papers 5 to 8 is a strategically curated, exam-focused set of four CRACKER Series books, designed to deliver end-to-end preparation coverage for the June/December 2026 CMA Intermediate examinations. This Combo brings together four high-impact, paper-specific CRACKER titles—Business Laws & Ethics, Financial Accounting, Direct & Indirect Taxation, and Cost Accounting—each developed around actual CMA examination questions, marks analytics, and examiner-oriented presentation standards.
