03 October 2021 If any taxpayer who is required to get the tax audit done but fails to do so, the least of the following may be levied as a penalty:

0.5% of the total sales, turnover or gross receipts
Rs 1,50,000

However, if there is a reasonable cause of such failure, no penalty shall be levied under section 271B.

So far, the reasonable causes that are accepted by Tribunals/Courts are:

Natural Calamities
Resignation of the Tax Auditor and Consequent Delay
Labour problems such as strikes, lock-outs for an extended period
Loss of Accounts because of situations beyond the control of the Assesses
Physical inability or death of the partner in charge of the accounts.
