What are your current sources?

I have books to prepare for JEE which arent very comprehensive and focus only on questions and not the concept.

Books, eh? Hmm!
 
I think it would be a waste of money to get a book just on SHM. Most books on introductory classical mechanics will have sections on linear oscillations as well as the general theory of small oscillations (e.g. stable equilibria, normal modes). I personally like Gregory's textbook, but there might be other good ones too.
