Audit of accounts is compulsory

- Assessees covered u/s 44AD/44AF/44BB/44BBB are also required to audit of accounts if they claim that their profit will be less than limit specified in respective section. e.g. u/s 44 AD Audit of accounts is required when two conditions are satisfied:-
  1. Claim lower profit than limit specified u/s 44AD (Limit of 8%)
  2. Total Income exceed basic exemption limit.
For calculation of turnover u/s 44AB, the turnover u/s 44AD/44AE shall be excluded.
Above limit is assessee wise and not business /profession wise e.g. If assessee has two business than turnover will be summed up.
Audit Date:-

- In case, if assessee has International transactions, 30th November.
Audit Report Form:- 3CA if audit required under any other law
