ceiling limit of tax audit is 45 and not for statutory audit
MAXIMUM NUMBER OF COMPANIES FOR AN AUDITOR
Section 224 (1B) places a ceiling on the number of audits of public companies which a Chartered Accountant not in full time employment, or a firm of Chartered Accountants, can conduct.
(a) A person can be appointed as an auditor, who is not in full-time employment elsewhere, of a maximum of 20 companies as described below
(b) Where some companies have paid-up capital of or more than 25 Lacs, a person can be appointed as auditor of only 20 companies out of which not more than 10 companies can have paid up capital of or exceeding Rs. 25 Lacs.
(c) In a firm of auditors, total number of 20 companies shall be for every partner of the firm who is not in full-time employment elsewhere.
As per the fourth proviso added to sub – section (1B) by the Companies (Amendment) Act, 2000, private companies have been excluded from the existing ceiling of 20 audits per partner and sub – ceiling of 10 audits for companies having a paid up capital of Rs. 25 Lacs or more. Thus, apart from 20 audits of public companies, an auditor may conduct audit of private companies without any ceiling.

That categorization has been done only for the purview of statutory audit under 224(1B) of Companies Act.
For tax audit :
ICAI has fixed a maximum limit for the Tax audit assignments that can be taken by a CA or a firm of CAs. This limit is set at 45 assignments per person. For if a firm of CAs has 3 partners, the maximum number of Tax audits that can be taken up by the firm will be 45*3 i.e. 135. If the firm takes all the 135, partners cannot take any audit in their personal capacity
