Sir
I ordered Param book as well as MCQ book from your site and paid Rupees 926 for the same on 18the July. Today i.e. 27the July, Conferenza store states that I can purchase the same books at a price of  Rupees 724.15(with param book at a discount of 50%). I just wanted to know the reason of this disparity. Is the difference/Penalty due to ordering from your site?

Hello Jaspreet
Dispatches were scheduled to start from 20th July. Because of rains, bulk printing output gets delayed as it takes time for bindings etc to dry. But we tried our best and dispatches started within 1-2 days of scheduled dates. We deployed extra staff to ensure they are dispatched  as earl as possible. They are sent as per order sequence. Large number of students got books. 

Please put email to support@auditguru.in or call on 9322011915 between 11am to 6pm to get tracking number of DTDC courier.

Sorry sir but I asked something different and the answer provided is completely in different context. I received my order day before yesterday but I had issues with 50% discount provided on conferenza store and made available to selective students who’ll buy books from it.

Hello Devendra
Conferenza, is doing promotion of its book section. They are bearing all discounts. We requested them to keep it short for 2 days only.So this promotion is for 2 days.
In today’s e-commerce such things happen many times. It’s a momentary thing.
Don’t feel bad about it. On daily basis price drops happens on 1000s of products. This instance it is like lottery for few for few days. Price has not decreased permanently, as said it is just for 2 days.
On Monday you will see book price at 600-650.
It’s completely their plan. In any profession or business at some point time or other discounts are given this is what my team explains to me. And always people will be little upset they missed the discount.
But let me tell you, those 2 volumes are surely worth more than 500 rupees.

Sorry sir but I do not mean any disrespect to you in any means. Even though conferenza is bearing all the discounts,
It is your responsibility AS AUDIT TEACHER to keep it fair for all students(since true and fair view enhances the reliability of audit report).
5-10% discount is understandable but providing a wholesome 50% is unfair on your part ultimately DECEIVING THE STUDENTS.
The issue is not regarding the time period for which the offer is available but the discount % which has been provided.
I have studied from you and a teacher is supposed to ensure fair treatment for all students irrespective of the fact whether any student is related to teacher or not. The chapters which you have taught get stuck in mind but this reasoning doesnt seem to be reasonable.I am sure that such % discount has never been provided in teaching business earlier.Lottery is a situation whose success or outcome is governed BY CHANCE but this offer certainly doesnt seem to be lottery but a bumper loot for students.

Dear Devendra
You will a CA soon, you will be a professional. Don’t use words like cheated. Use words carefully. We are giving worth every penny you are spending. Book comes in 2 volumes, delivered by best of courier services + solving queries of books by no means deserves such words. Dont stoop down for 100-200 rupees. As clarified we had no role to play in this discount scheme. We have requested it to be cut down to minimum days.

We are here to help and clarify on any aspects, write from important questions to others. Use public platforms carefully, we are not here to be trolled for unnecessary reasons. You should understand other side of story and try to respect others. Dont be anxious and comment anything.

I am currently reading from the book and I know that it is far better from the scanners which I have referred in the past. The price of the books is certainly beyond 500rupees but a fair pricing is to be ensured and regulated by you. No book store has ever done this before
I am extremely sorry sir but the word cheating means “An act committed dishonestly or unfairly in order to gain an advantage” while
In Internet slang, a troll is a person who starts quarrels or upsets people on the Internet to distract and sow discord
by posting inflammatory and digressive, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup,
forum, chat room, or blog) with the intent of provoking readers into displaying.

Devender used the word cheating since as students, every money saved is beneficial for us.We have no intention to troll you or your firm in any manner whatsoever.
If we would have become CA, I dont think we would have complained regarding the prices.
No CA related E-COMMERCE BUSINESS has ever provided 50% discount on its books but a new milestone has been kept for others to follow.
It would have been better if you would have requested them to cut down to minimum PERCENTAGE but probably it is your BUSINESS perspective and my advise is puny before the big business marketing heads.
I do respect you a lot since I am a lot younger to you and incase any of my words has struck a wrong tone, then I apologise in advance since my parents have always taught me to raise voice against the wrong doings but not at the cost of disrespecting someone especially a GURU as the word GURU means one who dispels the darkness
(referenced in Verse 16 of the Hindu scripture Advayataraka Upanishad). I hope you will ensure justice.

As i said we have taken instant step, it was limited for 2 days and we will take care such steep discounts doesnt happen. They are planning to do it for other books also, they are taking students feedback for the same.
Cheating is a very big word in any context, i am taking out all the time and writing this as elder brother so that everyone should be careful while using it anywhere in future also. I had all positive intentions in explaining whats harm in using such words and language. In corporate world there can be huge repercussions.
And i feel bashing and commenting carelessly has become trend in general, its my duty to explain and guide, at least CA students about it.
In my career of 12 years in teaching, i have not done anything immoral or unethical and specially anything which can harm students.

we have printing + packing + dtdc courier expenses and hell lot of overheads such as development costs , salaries, rents and sharing of 25% to sellers, taxes etc  it is not possible for us to sell at 300 and we cannot bear any discount. We cannot go in losses. Its unfortunate that students dont see other side. In general they feel professors make hell lot of money so they should bear all discounts, all expenses and give many things for free, they dont see big background machinery which works, they dont see opportunity cost of CA with 12 years of experience.
If associate director with 12 years as post qualification experience at big 4 makes money students are inspired, i want to be like that. If professor makes it, then he is unfair, he demon. Dont we have our families, dont we aspire to do best for them.
People spend 300 for movie tickets, 500 on weekend dinners, 50-80k for bikes, 10-15k for mobiles and more expenses no one questions all this.
i feel its unfair with professors as well they are made soft targets any time as required.
