Thanks dashingriddler for the links.

I have added legal studies info, GBC & Alliance links to the list. As I have already covered about bitcoin basics & mining in the global list, hence I have not added this PDF to the list.

Thanks. Added Bitterco.in to the list.

As Madovercoins services can't be used by Indian users, I am not sure whether its adds any value to the list & moreover users will get confused. If majority says it has to be added, I will do it.

I would advice adding a word of caution against the bitcoin alliance.

I don't think they are in beta. There are hundreds of items on their website. You should navigate to Shop by -> product categories to see all items in that category.

Until we get something more 'whitepaperish', this is a decent tax guide for India.
