Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies tax audit applicability for A.Y. 2020-2021, particularly for entities previously undergoing audits. It addresses whether the Finance Act 2020 amendments and the new 5 crore turnover limit apply to them. The general rule requires an audit if turnover exceeds 1 crore, but the 5 crore limit is effective from A.Y. 2021-2022, with specific conditions regarding cash transactions.

5 crs audit limit is applicable from a. y. 2021-22
What about those Entities who were in audit for last 3-4 years and in the A.Y 2020-2021 thier turnover Is below 5Cr and also if both the conditions are satisfied?
A taxpayer is required to have a tax audit carried out if the sales, turnover or gross receipts of business exceed Rs 1 crore in the financial year. However, a taxpayer may be required to get their accounts audited in certain other circumstances. We have categorised the various circumstances in the tables mentioned below:

NOTE: The threshold limit of Rs 1 crore for a tax audit is proposed to be increased to Rs 5 crore with effect from AY 2021-22 (FY 2020-21) if the taxpayer’s cash receipts are limited to 5% of the gross receipts or turnover, and if the taxpayer’s cash payments are limited to 5% of the aggregate payments.
