Quick Summary
For the financial year 2020-21, the income tax audit limit is generally ₹1 crore in turnover. However, this limit increases to ₹10 crore if cash transactions are less than 5% of the total turnover and payments. If cash transactions exceed 5%, the audit threshold reverts to ₹1 crore, unless the taxpayer has opted for Section 44AD. The due dates for audit reports and return filing were extended to January 15th and February 15th, 2022, respectively, with personal return filing due on December 31st, 2022.

Every person – carrying on business shall, if his total sales, turnover or gross receipts, as the case may be, in business exceed or exceeds one crore rupees in any previous year

Due dates -
