FAQ :

Form 3CA-3CD is used to report the details of a tax audit conducted under Section 44AB of the Income-tax Act.

A taxpayer needs to visit the e-Filing portal, log in, navigate to e-File > Income Tax Forms > File Income Tax Return, select Form 3CA-3CD, and then enter the CA's details in the 'Assign Chartered Accountant (CA)' section.

The CA logs into the e-Filing portal, goes to 'pending action' > 'Worklist', accepts or rejects the form, and then proceeds to file Form 3CA-3CD using the offline utility.

The CA accepts the form from their worklist, then uses an offline utility to fill and submit it, followed by e-verification. A transaction ID is generated upon successful acceptance and filing.

After the CA files the form, the taxpayer needs to log back into the e-Filing portal, go to 'pending action' > 'worklist', and click 'Accept' on the Form Pending for Acceptance, followed by e-verification.
