Professional: Gross receipts > Rs 50 lakh. CAs, lawyers, doctors, architects, engineers, consultants. NO digital concession.

Presumptive opt-out: If opted for S.44AD/44ADA but declared below prescribed % (8%/6%/50%), tax audit mandatory even below standard threshold.

Companies: Need BOTH statutory audit (Companies Act) AND tax audit (IT Act). Form 3CA+3CD since already audited. See Statutory Audit.

Key Terms for Tax Audit Service in Gurugram:

Section 44AB: Tax audit provision. Businesses >Rs 1Cr (Rs 10Cr digital). Professionals >Rs 50L.

Tax Audit S.44AB Gurugram

Rs 10 Crore Digital Transaction Threshold

Concession: Businesses with turnover up to Rs 10 crore exempt from tax audit if 95%+ of gross receipts AND gross payments are through banking/digital modes.

How to track: Monthly schedule of total receipts/payments bifurcated between cash and non-cash. If cash exceeds 5% at any point, Rs 1Cr threshold applies.

Gurugram context: SaaS companies, IT services, e-commerce, online services operate digitally. But petty cash, small vendor payments, cash sales can breach 5%. Track carefully.

Not for professionals: CA, lawyer, doctor in Cyber City with Rs 60L receipts must audit regardless of payment mode. Rs 50L threshold has NO digital concession.

Patron provides monthly digital threshold tracking and documentation to support the 95% digital claim at audit time.
