We know that most taxpayers have to file return by 31st July,
but those to whom audit applies, have a return filing due date
of 30th September. Audit applies to a business if its turnover
exceeds Rs 1 crore. If this is true for you, you’ll have to get
your accounts audited via a CA and submit the audit report
along with your tax return. If you fail to maintain books of
accounts, or do not get an audit done, penalties shall be
applicable as per the income tax act. The penalty leviable for
non-maintenance of accounting records could go upto Rs
25,000 under Section 271A. Further a penalty equal to lower of
Rs 1.5 lakhs or 0.5% of gross receipts or turnover can be
levied under Section 271B for not getting books audited under
Section 44AB. Tax audit under Section 44AB also becomes
mandatory for taxpayers who opt for presumptive scheme of
taxation, yet declare an income lower than the presumptive
income and such income (after setting off F & O losses or
other business losses if any) exceeds the maximum amount
not chargeable to tax i.e. Rs 2.5 lakhs.
