Income Tax Audit

Reliable income tax audit under Section 44AB for businesses, professionals and firms in Goa — accurate Form 3CA / 3CB and 3CD, reconciled with your GST and TDS, and filed before the due date.

Overview

Compliant, accurate, on time.

Once your turnover or receipts cross the Section 44AB thresholds, an income tax audit becomes mandatory — and the report must reach the department before the due date or face penalty. Beyond compliance, a careful audit catches disallowances and planning gaps before they cost you.

N D Savla & Associates prepares your Form 3CA/3CB and 3CD with precision, reconciles them against your GST records and TDS, and files the report and return together. For a deeper look at the statute, see our audit under the Income Tax Act page.

Frequently asked questions

Income tax audit, answered.

What is an income tax audit?

The audit of a taxpayer's books required under Section 44AB, conducted by a Chartered Accountant. It verifies that income, deductions, turnover and compliance are correctly reported, resulting in Form 3CA or 3CB with particulars in Form 3CD.

Who is required to get an income tax audit?

Businesses with turnover above the prescribed limit — generally ₹1 crore, extended up to ₹10 crore where cash receipts and payments are each within 5% — and professionals with gross receipts above ₹50 lakh. Certain presumptive cases too.

What forms are involved in an income tax audit?

Form 3CA where accounts are audited under another law, or Form 3CB where not. Form 3CD is the detailed statement of particulars filed with either — turnover, depreciation, payments, TDS, loans and disallowances.

What is the due date for an income tax audit?

Generally 30 September of the assessment year for the report, with the return due 31 October for audited taxpayers. Dates may be extended; we file early to be safe.

What is the penalty for not getting an income tax audit?

Under Section 271B, a penalty of 0.5% of turnover or gross receipts up to ₹1,50,000 may apply unless there is reasonable cause. Timely compliance avoids it.

What records are needed for an income tax audit?

Books of account, bank statements, sales and purchase data, GST and TDS returns, fixed-asset and depreciation details, loan confirmations and prior-year financials. We provide a checklist.

Can you handle both the audit and the return?

Yes. We prepare Form 3CA/3CB and 3CD, reconcile with GST and TDS, and file the income-tax return together for seamless year-end compliance.

Do you provide income tax audit across Goa?

Yes — to businesses, professionals and firms across Panaji, Margao, Vasco, Mapusa, Ponda and the rest of Goa.
