Frequently Asked Questions

A Tax Audit Report is a report prepared by a qualified Chartered Accountant for taxpayers covered under the applicable tax audit provisions. It examines relevant financial records and reports prescribed tax particulars to the Income Tax Department.

Businesses and professionals meeting the prescribed turnover or gross receipt limits, along with certain taxpayers covered under presumptive taxation provisions, may be required to obtain and furnish a tax audit report. Applicability depends on the relevant statutory conditions.

Under the general business audit provisions, the threshold is ₹1 crore. It may increase to ₹10 crore if both cash receipts and cash payments do not exceed 5% of the respective totals, subject to applicable conditions. For specified professions, the general gross receipt threshold is ₹50 lakh. Other provisions may also trigger an audit.

For FY 2025–26 (AY 2026–27), the applicable forms are Form 3CA or Form 3CB along with Form 3CD, depending on the taxpayer's circumstances. For Tax Year 2026–27 under the Income-tax Act, 2025, the unified Form 26 is prescribed.

Form 3CA is generally used when the taxpayer's accounts are already required to be audited under another law. Form 3CB is generally used when the taxpayer is not required to get the accounts audited under another law. The prescribed particulars are reported in Form 3CD under the earlier framework.

The due date generally falls one month before the applicable income tax return due date. For FY 2025–26 (AY 2026–27), the general tax audit report due date is 30 September 2026. Transfer pricing cases and other specified categories may have different timelines. Any official extension should also be considered.

A tax audit must be conducted and the prescribed report furnished by an eligible Chartered Accountant in accordance with the applicable law and professional requirements. The taxpayer is required to review and approve the report through the Income Tax e-Filing Portal.

Late furnishing of a required tax audit report may attract a penalty under the applicable provisions, subject to statutory limits and reasonable-cause relief where available. The consequences depend on the relevant tax year and circumstances of the delay.

Yes. After the Chartered Accountant electronically submits the tax audit report, the taxpayer generally needs to log in to the Income Tax e-Filing Portal, review the submitted report and approve it as required.
