Quick Summary
This discussion addresses whether a retail and wholesale medicine dealer with a gross turnover of ₹1.2 crore in AY 2021-22 is liable to maintain account books under Section 44AA and undergo an audit under Section 44AB. While the dealer is not opting for presumptive taxation under Section 44AD, the consensus is that maintaining books of account is mandatory. Tax audit applicability hinges on the percentage of cash transactions; if over 5% of receipts and payments are in cash, an audit is likely required, necessitating filing under Section 139 with forms 3CA/3CD.
Well, if 95% or more of your sales & purchase transactions are through banking channel; & if sec. 44AD(4) not applicable in any previous years; tax audit is not mandatory.
Audit would apply to you only if your gross receipt or turnover is more 5% of total recipts and payments.... that means u must mostly deal in non cash transaction to avoid audit.. Otherwise audit is definitely applicable
