24 June 2009 Yes Mr. Sanjeev is correctly said audit of two acts are distinct to each other you can not take a stand that applicability of one act impose the applicability of second act.
Tax Audit will be carried out if the turnover of the co. exceeds Rs.40 lacs while in case of professinal receipt Rs.10 lacs.

24 June 2009 If the company is incorporated in Jan 2008 and the company takes the choice of filing accounts for an extended period of 15 months , i.e., 31 March 2009.

The company has two tax period ie., 31 March 2008 and 31 March 2009. Further, there is no turnover or the turnover does not cross the limit of INR 40 Lakhs. Then how will be the situation.

Company is required to get their accounts audited only once for statutory purpose under companies act and that will be for 31 March 2009.

Will the answer be the same?
