What: Mandatory examination of books by a CA under Section 44AB of the Income Tax Act, 1961 | Who: Businesses with turnover above ₹1 crore, professionals with receipts above ₹50 lakhs | Cost: Starting ₹7,999 at IncorpX | Timeline: 7 to 15 working days | Forms: 3CA or 3CB + 3CD (44 clauses) | Penalty: 0.5% of turnover or ₹1,50,000 under Section 271B
Tax audit is a mandatory examination of books of accounts by a Chartered Accountant under Section 44AB of the Income Tax Act, 1961. It verifies financial accuracy and tax compliance for businesses and professionals exceeding specified turnover thresholds.
Tax audit under Section 44AB requires certain taxpayers to get their books of accounts examined by a practicing Chartered Accountant before filing their income tax return. The audit ensures that financial records accurately reflect the taxpayer's income, deductions, and tax liability. Section 44AB specifies three categories of assessees who must get audited: businesses with annual turnover exceeding ₹1 crore (increased to ₹10 crore for businesses where 95% or more transactions are through digital modes), professionals with gross receipts above ₹50 lakhs, and taxpayers under presumptive taxation schemes (Sections 44AD, 44ADA, 44AE) who declare income below the prescribed percentage. The auditor prepares Form 3CA or 3CB (audit report) along with Form 3CD (statement of particulars with 44 clauses). The report must be filed on the Income Tax e-filing portal before September 30 of the assessment year.
Businesses in Ujjain follow the same national tax audit process governed by the Income Tax Act. Ujjain is a major business centre with a high concentration of businesses and professionals that meet the Section 44AB thresholds. IncorpX provides complete online tax audit services for businesses across Ujjain and without requiring any physical visits.
September 30 of assessment year (extended to October 31 by CBDT)
Unlike a statutory audit that focuses on the fairness of financial statements under the Companies Act, a tax audit specifically examines income tax compliance. The auditor checks depreciation, TDS deductions, Section 43B disallowances, and cash transaction limits. If your company also requires statutory audit, explore our financial audit services for a combined solution.
Who Needs a Tax Audit? Applicability & Turnover Limits
Tax audit under Section 44AB applies to businesses, professionals, and taxpayers under presumptive taxation who exceed specific thresholds. These thresholds apply uniformly across India, including Ujjain:
Category
Section
Threshold
Form Used
Business (general)
44AB(a)

3CA + 3CD
Sec 44AD (Business)
44AB(e)
Profit < 8%/6% + income > exemption
3CB + 3CD
Sec 44ADA (Professionals)
44AB(e)
Profit < 50% + income > exemption
3CB + 3CD
Sec 44AE (Goods Carriage)
44AB(e)
Income claimed < prescribed
3CB + 3CD
Companies subject to Pvt Ltd compliance requirements and LLPs under LLP compliance obligations use Form 3CA since they are already audited under their respective Acts.
The ₹10 crore limit applies only if 95% or more of total business transactions (receipts + payments) are through banking channels or digital modes. Even one cash receipt or payment exceeding 5% brings you back to the ₹1 crore threshold.
Section 44AD has a 5-year lock-in. If you opt for presumptive taxation and then declare profit below 8%/6%, you must get a tax audit done AND maintain full books of accounts for 5 consecutive years.
Tax Audit Due Date
The standard due date for filing the tax audit report is September 30 of the assessment year. CBDT frequently extends this deadline to October 31. The ITR filing due date for audit cases is also October 31. Missing either deadline triggers multiple penalties.

Tax Audit Report Forms: 3CA, 3CB and 3CD
The tax audit report under Rule 6G of the Income Tax Rules consists of an audit report form (3CA or 3CB) filed with a statement of particulars (Form 3CD). The form used depends on whether the assessee is already audited under another law.

Clause 44 requires the auditor to reconcile GST return filing data (GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, GSTR-9) with the books of accounts. The CA must generate a UDIN from the ICAI UDIN portal for authentication of the audit report.
Form 3CE is a separate form for non-resident taxpayers receiving royalty or fees for technical services in India under Section 44DA. It replaces Form 3CB for such non-residents.
How Tax Audit Works: Step-by-Step Process
The tax audit process at IncorpX involves 7 steps, takes 7 to 15 working days, and starts at ₹7,999. Each step is handled by a dedicated CA assigned to your case.
Step 1: Share Financial Documents with IncorpX
Upload your books of accounts, bank statements, GST returns, TDS certificates, and fixed asset register through our secure portal. Our team verifies document completeness within 1 working day.
Portal: IncorpX secure portal | Time: 1 working day
Step 2: CA Assignment and Appointment
IncorpX assigns a qualified Chartered Accountant to your case. Add the assigned CA on the Income Tax e-filing portal under the "My CA" section using their ICAI membership number. The CA accepts the assignment on the portal.
Portal: incometax.gov.in | Time: 1 working day
Step 3: Books of Accounts Verification
The CA examines your cash book, ledger, journal, trial balance, and bank reconciliation. Every entry is verified for accuracy as required under Section 44AB. Discrepancies are flagged and discussed with you before proceeding.
Time: 2 to 4 working days
Step 4: TDS and GST Compliance Review
The auditor reviews TDS deductions, deposits, and returns against Form 26AS and AIS. GST reconciliation under Clause 44 of Form 3CD compares turnover reported in GST returns with your books of accounts.
Time: 1 to 2 working days
Step 5: Form 3CA/3CB and 3CD Preparation
The CA prepares Form 3CA (if already audited under another law) or Form 3CB (if not) along with Form 3CD covering all 44 clauses. This includes depreciation, cash transactions, TDS compliance, transfer pricing, and GST reconciliation.
Time: 2 to 3 working days
Step 6: UDIN Generation and Report Signing
The CA generates an 18-digit UDIN from the ICAI portal at udin.icai.org for the audit report. The report is digitally signed using the CA's digital signature certificate.
Portal: udin.icai.org | Time: 1 working day
Step 7: Upload and E-File on IT Portal
The signed audit report is uploaded on incometax.gov.in. You review and accept the report on the portal. After acceptance, file your income tax return filing before the October 31 deadline.
Portal: incometax.gov.in | Time: 1 working day
Do not forget to add your CA on the Income Tax e-filing portal before the CA starts uploading. If the CA is not added under "My CA" on incometax.gov.in, the upload will fail and cause delays.
Dedicated CA. 7 to 15 working days. Zero penalty record.

Penalty Exemptions (Reasonable Causes Under Section 273B)
The Assessing Officer can waive Section 271B penalties if the assessee proves a reasonable cause. Accepted reasons include:
Natural calamities (floods, earthquakes)
Resignation of the tax auditor during the audit period
Resignation of accounting staff responsible for maintaining books
Labour strikes or lockouts affecting business operations
Loss or destruction of books of accounts
Physical incapacity or death of the responsible person
Late TDS return filing also compounds penalties during audit non-compliance. Businesses should ensure TDS deposits and returns are current before the audit begins.
A business with ₹5 crore turnover that misses the deadline faces ₹1,50,000 in Section 271B penalty (0.5% of ₹5 crore = ₹2,50,000, capped at ₹1,50,000) PLUS ₹5,000 in Section 234F fees PLUS monthly interest on any outstanding tax liability.
Tax Audit vs Statutory Audit: Key Differences
Tax audit and statutory audit serve different purposes and are governed by different laws. Every Pvt Ltd company that needs a tax audit uses Form 3CA (since it is already audited under the Companies Act). Proprietorships and partnership firms without any other audit obligation use Form 3CB.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tax Audit Services in Ujjain
Answers to the most common questions about tax audit under Section 44AB, covering applicability, forms, costs, deadlines, penalties, and the audit process.
A tax audit under Section 44AB of the Income Tax Act, 1961 is a mandatory examination of books of accounts by a practicing Chartered Accountant. It applies to businesses with turnover above ₹1 crore and professionals with gross receipts exceeding ₹50 lakhs. The auditor files Form 3CA or 3CB with Form 3CD.
Tax audit is mandatory for businesses in Ujjain with annual turnover exceeding ₹1 crore (₹10 crore if 95%+ transactions are digital), professionals with gross receipts above ₹50 lakhs, and taxpayers under Sections 44AD/44ADA/44AE who declare income below prescribed limits while exceeding the basic exemption limit. The same thresholds apply uniformly across India, including Ujjain.
For FY 2025-26 (AY 2026-27), the tax audit limit is ₹1 crore for businesses and ₹50 lakhs for professionals. Businesses with 95% or more digital transactions get a higher threshold of ₹10 crore. These limits are defined under Section 44AB of the Income Tax Act.
Form 3CA is the audit report for assessees already audited under another law (e.g., Companies Act for Pvt Ltd companies). Form 3CB is for assessees not audited under any other law (e.g., proprietorships, partnership firms). Both forms are filed together with Form 3CD (statement of particulars).
Form 3CD is the statement of particulars filed alongside the tax audit report. It contains 44 clauses covering details like nature of business, turnover, depreciation, GST reconciliation (Clause 44), Section 40A(3) cash payments, Section 269SS/269T compliance, and tax deduction details under Sections 43B and 80C to 80U.
Yes, a private limited company requires tax audit under Section 44AB if its turnover exceeds ₹1 crore (or ₹10 crore with 95%+ digital transactions). Since companies are also audited under the Companies Act, the auditor uses Form 3CA instead of Form 3CB, along with Form 3CD.
An LLP needs tax audit under Section 44AB if its annual turnover exceeds ₹1 crore (₹10 crore with 95%+ digital transactions) or if it is a professional LLP with gross receipts above ₹50 lakhs. LLPs already audited under the LLP Act use Form 3CA + 3CD.
Only a practicing Chartered Accountant registered under the Chartered Accountants Act, 1949 can conduct a tax audit. Internal employees, part-time CAs, CAs indebted to the assessee for more than ₹10,000, and CAs who maintain the assessee's books are not eligible. Each CA can accept a maximum of 45 tax audits per year.
UDIN is a Unique Document Identification Number, an 18-digit code generated by the Chartered Accountant on the ICAI portal (udin.icai.org). It is mandatory for every certificate and audit report issued by a CA, including tax audit reports under Section 44AB. Without a valid UDIN, the audit report is not authenticated.
Under Section 44AD, businesses with turnover up to ₹2 crore can declare profits at 8% (6% for digital receipts) without maintaining detailed books. However, if they declare profit below 8%/6% and total income exceeds the basic exemption limit, tax audit under Section 44AB becomes mandatory. A 5-year lock-in applies once opted into Section 44AD.
Yes, a tax audit report can be revised before the due date if errors are discovered. The CA must file a revised Form 3CA/3CB and 3CD on the Income Tax e-filing portal with a new UDIN. The assessee must accept the revised report on the portal. After the filing deadline, revision is generally not permitted unless directed by tax authorities.
Clause 44 requires GST reconciliation between the turnover reported in GST returns (GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, GSTR-9) and the turnover recorded in the books of accounts. The auditor reports any discrepancy in expenditure, input tax credit, and turnover as part of the Form 3CD filing under this clause.
Log in to incometax.gov.in, add your CA under "My CA" using their membership number. The CA uploads the signed Form 3CA/3CB and Form 3CD with a UDIN. You review and accept the report on the portal. After acceptance, file your ITR before October 31 of the assessment year.
A typical tax audit in Ujjain takes 7 to 15 working days depending on the complexity of transactions, volume of records, and entity type. Proprietorships with straightforward books are completed in 7 days. Companies with multiple GST registrations and high-value transactions need 15 or more working days. IncorpX provides the same turnaround for businesses in Ujjain through our 100% online process.
The assessee appoints a practicing CA by mutual agreement. On the Income Tax e-filing portal (incometax.gov.in), navigate to "My CA" and add the auditor using their ICAI membership number. The CA accepts the appointment on the portal. Each CA can hold a maximum of 45 audit assignments per financial year.
Key documents include: books of accounts (cash book, ledger, journal), bank statements, previous year's ITR and audit report, GST returns (GSTR-1, 3B, 9), TDS certificates (Form 16A/16B), fixed asset register with depreciation schedule, tax computation statement, advance tax challans, and a valid Digital Signature Certificate (DSC). Businesses in Ujjain can share all documents digitally through our secure portal.
Failing to complete tax audit by the due date attracts a penalty under Section 271B of 0.5% of total sales/turnover/gross receipts or ₹1,50,000, whichever is lower. Additionally, late ITR filing triggers Section 234F penalties up to ₹5,000 and interest under Sections 234A/234B/234C at 1% per month.
The process involves: (1) gathering books of accounts and financial documents, (2) appointing a CA on the Income Tax e-filing portal, (3) CA verifies books and compliance, (4) CA prepares Form 3CA/3CB + Form 3CD, (5) UDIN generation on udin.icai.org, (6) e-filing on incometax.gov.in, and (7) assessee accepts the report.
Yes, the same CA can perform both the statutory audit (under Companies Act, 2013) and the tax audit (under Section 44AB of the Income Tax Act). However, the internal auditor of a company cannot be appointed as the tax auditor. The statutory auditor uses Form 3CA while a standalone tax auditor uses Form 3CB.
The CA logs into incometax.gov.in and uploads the digitally signed Form 3CA or 3CB along with Form 3CD. The report must include a valid 18-digit UDIN from ICAI. The assessee then logs in, reviews the uploaded report under the "Pending Actions" tab, and clicks "Accept" to finalise the filing.
Tax audit fees in Ujjain range from ₹5,000 to ₹15,000 depending on entity type, transaction volume, and complexity. IncorpX offers complete tax audit services in Ujjain starting at ₹7,999, covering books verification, Form 3CA/3CB and 3CD filing, TDS review, GST reconciliation, UDIN generation, and e-filing by a qualified CA. No physical visits needed.
The ₹7,999 package includes 10 deliverables: books of accounts verification, Form 3CA or 3CB preparation, Form 3CD compilation (all 44 clauses), TDS compliance review, GST reconciliation check, tax computation verification, statutory register review, UDIN generation, e-filing on the IT portal, and dedicated CA support.
Yes. For proprietorships and partnership firms (Form 3CB + 3CD), fees start at ₹7,999. For private limited companies and LLPs that also require statutory audit, the tax audit component using Form 3CA + 3CD starts at ₹9,999 due to additional cross-verification with the statutory audit report.
Tax audit under Section 44AB can only be conducted by a practicing Chartered Accountant registered under the Chartered Accountants Act, 1949. Internal employees, accountants, or the assessee cannot perform the audit. The CA must also generate a mandatory UDIN from ICAI. Engaging a professional service ensures compliance and avoids Section 271B penalties up to ₹1,50,000.
Yes. The entire tax audit process can be completed 100% online in Ujjain.

Tax audit is conducted under Section 44AB of the Income Tax Act based on turnover/receipt thresholds. Statutory audit is mandated under the Companies Act, 2013 for all registered companies and LLPs above specified limits. Tax audit uses Form 3CB/3CD; statutory audit follows CARO format. Both can be done by the same CA.
No. Tax audit is a pre-filing verification of books by a CA under Section 44AB, resulting in Form 3CA/3CB and 3CD. Income tax assessment is a post-filing review by the Assessing Officer under Sections 143/144/147, verifying the return filed. Tax audit is the assessee's obligation; assessment is an IT Department action.
Section 44AD is a presumptive taxation scheme allowing businesses with turnover up to ₹2 crore to declare profit at 8% (6% for digital) without maintaining full books. Section 44AB mandates tax audit. If a 44AD taxpayer declares profit below 8%/6% and income exceeds the basic exemption limit, Section 44AB audit becomes mandatory.
For businesses, tax audit under Section 44AB triggers at turnover above ₹1 crore (₹10 crore with 95%+ digital). For professionals (doctors, lawyers, CAs, architects), the threshold is gross receipts above ₹50 lakhs under Section 44AB(b). Professionals under Section 44ADA declaring below 50% profit also require audit.
Yes, tax audit under Section 44AB is mandatory for businesses in Ujjain with turnover exceeding ₹1 crore (₹10 crore for 95%+ digital transactions) and professionals with gross receipts above ₹50 lakhs.
