Tax Audit Package Inclusions

Overview
What a tax audit actually involves
Tax audit under Section 44AB of the Income Tax Act applies when turnover or gross receipts cross prescribed limits.
For businesses, the threshold is turnover above ₹1 crore (₹10 crore where cash transactions are 5% or less of the total).
For professionals, the threshold is gross receipts above ₹50 lakh.
The CA reports in Form 3CA or 3CB, with the detailed statement in Form 3CD.
The report is filed electronically before the return due date — typically 30 September, extended to 31 October in recent years.
Benefits
Why businesses get their tax audit done through us
Open each benefit to see what it means for you.
Audit that withstands scrutiny
We examine books properly — cash, stock, TDS, GST reconciliation — so the 3CD disclosures are accurate and defensible.
Disallowances caught early
Expenses the department will disallow are flagged during the audit, not in a notice two years later.
Filed on time, every time
We plan the audit calendar backwards from the due date. Extensions are announced late; we do not rely on them.
One CA from start to filing
The partner who audits your books signs the report. No handoffs mid-audit.
Documents
Documents you will usually need
Clear, current documents matter more than a long checklist. Names, dates of birth and addresses should match across every record — that's what the MCA checks first. Tick what you already have below.

What is a CIN?
Every Private Limited Company gets a unique 21-character Corporate Identification Number from the MCA. It's proof your company legally exists. You'll need it for bank accounts, tax filings, and contracts. We handle the entire application — you just provide the documents above.
Not sure if your documents are ready?
Send us what you have. A ComplyKart expert will review them for free and tell you exactly what's missing — no obligation.
Get Free Document ReviewQuestions Founders ask us about documents
What if my address proof is old?
Utility bills and bank statements must be less than 2 months old. If yours are older, get a fresh copy — the MCA rejects stale proofs.
Do I need original documents?
No. Clear scans or photos work for the entire process. We never ask you to courier originals.
What if directors live in different cities?
That's normal. Each director uploads their own documents separately. Our system keeps everything organised.
I'm outside India. Can I still register a company?
Yes. India allows 100% foreign ownership in most sectors, and the entire process happens online. You need one Indian resident director, and your passport + address proof must be apostilled — we'll guide you through both. NRI founders and foreign investors do this with us regularly.
Check if you're eligible →How long does registration actually take?
7 to 10 working days from the day your documents are verified. Name approval takes 2-3 days, MCA incorporation another 5-7. We track every stage and update you.
Can I start if I'm missing one document?
Yes. Start now with what you have — we begin name reservation and DSC while you arrange the rest. Most founders are missing one proof; it rarely blocks the timeline.

For NRI founders & foreign investors
If a founder or investor is outside India
You don't need to fly down. Most of our foreign-founder incorporations are completed without the founder ever visiting India — 100% foreign ownership is allowed in most sectors, and the entire process happens online.
Before you start
- 100% foreign ownership is allowed in most sectors — no Indian partner needed
- One Indian resident director is required by law — we help you find a compliant way forward
- Check whether your sector permits automatic-route foreign investment
- Your passport + address proof need an apostille, not an embassy visit
- Map ownership, beneficial ownership and pricing early
After incorporation
- Receive funds through permitted banking channels
- Complete RBI/FEMA reporting (FC-GPR, FLA) and keep the bank evidence
- Coordinate tax and ongoing compliance advice early

No. Statutory audit (under the Companies Act) checks financial statements for shareholders. Tax audit (under the Income Tax Act) reports tax-specific compliance in Form 3CD. Companies often need both.
Typically 30 September following the financial year, extended to 31 October in recent years. We track the notified date each year and plan backwards from it.
Penalty under Section 271B — 0.5% of turnover up to a prescribed maximum — plus a much higher chance of scrutiny. It is not worth skipping.
Usually no, as long as you stay within the scheme and declare the prescribed income. If you opt out or declare lower income, audit provisions can trigger — we check your specific case.
A Chartered Accountant in practice must conduct and sign it. There are also limits on how many tax audits a CA can sign in a year — we confirm capacity before accepting.
Books of account, cash and stock positions, TDS compliance, GST reconciliation, loans and advances, and related-party transactions — everything Form 3CD asks for.
Nothing matches that search. Try a shorter word, or choose “All questions”.
