No tax audit, but the LLP Act may require an audit:
• Income-tax: Sec 44AB applies only if turnover exceeds Rs 1 crore (or Rs 10 crore with 5% or less cash). Sec 44AD isn't available to LLPs, so a loss doesn't trigger audit. At Rs 60 lakh turnover, no tax audit.
• LLP Act: Rule 24(8) requires audit of LLP accounts unless turnover doesn't exceed Rs 40 lakh and contribution doesn't exceed Rs 25 lakh. With turnover of Rs 60 lakh, a statutory audit under the LLP Act is mandatory.
• Due dates: Form 8 by 30 October, Form 11 by 30 May. Because the accounts must be audited under the LLP Act ("any other law"), the ITR-5 due date is 31 October (Explanation 2 to Sec 139(1)).
• Carry-forward of the loss requires filing by the due date.
