A mandatory check on your books, done right
A tax audit is a verification of your books of account under Section 44AB of the Income Tax Act, carried out by a Chartered Accountant to confirm your business or profession has complied with tax law. It applies once turnover, gross receipts or presumptive-income declarations cross the prescribed limits set for your category.
We track your exact applicability and deadlines, so you’re never guessing whether this year’s numbers trigger the requirement.
- Businesses above the prescribed turnover threshold
- Professionals above the prescribed gross receipts threshold
- Presumptive taxation cases under Sections 44AD and 44ADA
- Taxpayers carrying forward a loss who must still file audited accounts
- Cases involving international transactions under Section 92E
Forms 3CA, 3CB and 3CD, prepared and filed
Depending on whether your accounts are already required to be maintained under another law, we prepare the correct form set and file it before your return is due.
Books already audited elsewhere
Used where accounts are already required to be maintained and audited under another law, such as the Companies Act.
No other audit requirement
Used where the business or professional isn’t otherwise required to maintain audited books.
The detailed statement
A quantitative statement of income, deductions and tax particulars that accompanies either 3CA or 3CB.
Beyond the compliance box
Avoids penalty
Missing a required tax audit exposes you to a penalty under Section 271B. Filing on time and correctly avoids that risk entirely.
Cleaner ITR filing
An audited set of books makes your income tax return filing faster and less error-prone.
Easier loan approvals
Lenders and investors take audited financials more seriously than self-certified numbers.
Catches errors early
The audit process itself surfaces discrepancies and control gaps before they become bigger problems.
From applicability check to filed report
Check applicability
We confirm whether your turnover, receipts or presumptive-income position triggers a tax audit this year.
Review the books
Our CAs examine your records against Section 44AB requirements and flag anything that needs correction.
Prepare the report
Form 3CA or 3CB, along with Form 3CD, is prepared with full supporting detail.
File before the deadline
The report is filed ahead of your income tax return due date, with the date tracked for you.
Questions companies ask first.
Who is required to get a tax audit done?
Businesses and professionals crossing the turnover or gross receipts thresholds prescribed under Section 44AB, along with certain presumptive taxation and international-transaction cases. We check your specific numbers against current thresholds rather than relying on a rule of thumb.
What happens if I miss the tax audit requirement?
Non-compliance attracts a penalty under Section 271B, though it can be waived for a valid reason. The safer path is confirming applicability early and filing on time.
Which forms are involved in a tax audit?
Form 3CA or 3CB depending on whether your accounts are already audited under another law, plus Form 3CD, the detailed statement of particulars — all prepared and filed by a Chartered Accountant.
