Applicability of Tax Audit in India

Sure, we are looking into it

Hi,

My turnover is 6.5 Cr (99.5% non-cash transactions) which is less than 10 Cr for permissible cases. Profit is 10 Lakh. Do I need to get audit done? I read that audit is mandatory if taxable income less than 6% of turnover?

I have net income from salary about 5.5 lacs per anum whereas, the F&O transactions is about 49 lacs (with a loss of about 1.6 lacs). Do I need to file Audit report? Please refer DAQ of Income Tax department. Please help.

Hey @Surabhi_Choudhury @Indranil_Chowdhury,
Tax Audit is applicable u/s 44AB if

  1. Turnover > 10Cr or
  2. Turnover < 2 cr
    2a) Profits < 6% of turnover
    2b) Taxable Income above basic exemption (2.5 lacs)
    2c) opted out of the presumptive scheme in the preceding 5 years

Here’s an article that you might find useful

Thanks. This is helpful. A further query:

If the turnover is 6 Cr in AY 23 and may have a loss,
Turnover was 1 Cr in AY 22 and person opted for presumptive taxation at 6%.

Will audit be applicable for FY 23?

My understanding: The criteria says no as turnover this year is above 2 Cr and below 10 Cr. So the fact that person opted for presumptive taxation in the last year is irrelevant.

Kindly confirm this understanding is correct?

Hi Team,

I have income from salary and FNO losses. The Turnover falls < 25 Lakh and losses are <=6%. So, In this case tax audit is applicable. My query is that what if I choose to opt-out during filing? If I need to opt-in the audit, then what will be the minimum fee I have to pay to CA. If Quicko can help in this matter.
