Dear Sundar,
I will lay emphasis on the words "substantial interest" here. If the nephew holds 51% of the Capital or more, and the controlling interest in the firm vests in him, his uncle who is a practicing CA cannot conduct the tax audit of that firm.
Further, Section 40(A)2 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 clearly mentions "relative" to include spouse, brother or sister, and any lineal ascendant or descendent.
