As per the latest circular of FPSB the assessment year is changing to AY 2012-13 from 24th of Jan, 2012.
For the candidates of Tax planning and AFP this change is critical because this time the changes have taken place a week earlier.
As I said earlier, changes in smaller savings are also taking place on the same date.
See the circular: http://www.fpsb.co.in/Upload/Notifications/CHANGE%20OF%20ASSESSMENT%20YEAR%2012-13.pdf
