A tax audit under the Income Tax Act is the examination of the accounts of a business or profession from an income tax perspective. It is governed primarily by Section 44AB, which requires specified taxpayers to get their accounts audited by a Chartered Accountant and to furnish the audit report in the prescribed forms. The tax audit helps ensure that the income, deductions, and other particulars reported for tax purposes are accurate and properly supported.
The obligation to undergo a tax audit generally arises when the turnover of a business or the gross receipts of a profession cross the thresholds specified under Section 44AB, and in certain other situations such as where a taxpayer covered by the presumptive taxation scheme declares income lower than the presumptive rate. The audit report is furnished in Form 3CA or Form 3CB, along with the detailed statement of particulars in Form 3CD.
Our tax audit practice handles the complete Section 44AB process — confirming whether a tax audit applies, examining the books of accounts, verifying the particulars required under Form 3CD, identifying issues that affect taxable income, preparing the tax audit report, and filing it electronically within the due date. We deliver a thorough, accurate tax audit that supports a clean income tax return and reduces the risk of scrutiny and disallowances.

Frequently Asked Questions
A tax audit is the examination of the accounts of a business or profession from an income tax perspective, carried out by a Chartered Accountant under Section 44AB of the Income Tax Act. The auditor reports the prescribed particulars in Form 3CA or 3CB along with Form 3CD.
A tax audit is generally required where the turnover of a business or the gross receipts of a profession cross the thresholds specified under Section 44AB, and in certain other cases such as where a taxpayer under the presumptive taxation scheme declares income lower than the presumptive rate.
Form 3CA is the tax audit report used where the accounts are already audited under another law, Form 3CB is used where they are not, and Form 3CD is the detailed statement of particulars that accompanies either report and contains the specified tax audit disclosures.
A tax audit under the Income Tax Act focuses on verifying particulars relevant for income tax, while a statutory audit under the Companies Act examines whether the financial statements give a true and fair view. A company may be required to undergo both.
Failure to get the accounts audited or to furnish the tax audit report by the due date can attract a penalty under the Income Tax Act, calculated as a percentage of turnover or gross receipts up to a specified maximum, unless there is reasonable cause for the failure.
