26 July 2025 Hey! About your query on **tax audit limits for a private limited company engaged in software development**:

### Tax audit limit applicable:

* For companies (other than those covered under presumptive taxation u/s 44AD), **Section 44AB** applies.
* The **turnover limit for tax audit under Section 44AB is Rs. 1 crore for businesses** and **Rs. 50 lakhs for professions**.
* But in the case of software development (which is considered a business activity), the limit is Rs. **1 crore** turnover for audit applicability.
* The figure Rs. 40 lakhs you mentioned is generally for professionals, not for business companies.
* The Rs. 10 lakhs limit does not apply for companies; it generally applies for presumptive income schemes for individuals/HUF/partnerships.

### Reference:

* The limit and provisions are mentioned in **Section 44AB of the Income Tax Act**.
* The CBDT notifications and the Income Tax Rules also cover these provisions.

If you want, I can help you get the relevant section or the official link to Income Tax Act/Rules related to this.

---

**Summary:**
For software development company, the turnover threshold for tax audit is **Rs. 1 crore** under section 44AB. So, if turnover exceeds Rs. 1 crore, tax audit is applicable.

Let me know if you want me to email detailed notes or relevant sections!
