Tax audit for an agricultural company:
• Agricultural income is exempt (Sec 10(1)), but tax audit (Sec 44AB) applies based on business turnover. If the company's activity is purely agricultural (exempt), it isn't "business" under PGBP. Turnover of agricultural income generally doesn't count for 44AB.
• If it has any non-agricultural business (processing, trading), that turnover counts.
• Companies need statutory audit under the Companies Act regardless. Tax audit only if business turnover exceeds thresholds.
