Tax Audit in Mumbai | Section 44AB

What is Tax Audit?

Tax audit is an examination of books and tax positions under the Income Tax Act, commonly applicable under Section 44AB. It involves more than uploading Form 3CA/3CB and Form 3CD. Books, GST turnover, TDS, cash transactions, loans, depreciation, related-party details and deductions need proper review before reporting.

Who needs tax audit in Mumbai?

Tax audit may apply to businesses and professionals crossing prescribed turnover or receipt thresholds, or cases where presumptive taxation conditions require audit. We confirm applicability after reviewing turnover, profit, entity type and tax position. Clients commonly come from Borivali, Kandivali, Dahisar, Goregaon, Andheri, Malad and other Mumbai business locations. The common thread is simple: they want someone nearby enough to understand the local business environment, but systematic enough to manage filings and records professionally.

Our process

Our process is built to reduce back-and-forth and avoid last-minute surprises. We first understand the matter, then issue a specific checklist, review documents, resolve queries, and complete the filing or advisory output after your approval.

1. Requirement review. We identify the service, period, entity type, deadline and risk areas.

2. Document checklist. You receive a focused checklist for your case instead of a generic list.

3. CA-led review. Numbers, documents and tax positions are reviewed before submission.

4. Filing and records. You receive acknowledgement, computation or next-step notes after completion.

Documents required

The exact list depends on the facts, but most tax audit assignments start with these documents:

Trial balance, ledger, profit and loss account and balance sheet
Sales, purchase, GST and TDS records
Bank statements, loan confirmations and fixed asset details
Previous year audit report and ITR
Details needed for Form 3CD clauses and management confirmations

Typical timelines

Once books are ready, a tax audit usually takes 2-3 weeks depending on volume, reconciliations, pending confirmations and issue resolution. Starting early is strongly recommended before the September deadline period. We recommend starting earlier than the statutory deadline because reconciliations, portal issues, missing confirmations and management approvals can add avoidable pressure.

Pricing approach

Tax audit fees depend on entity type, turnover, number of branches/locations, quality of books, GST/TDS complexity and whether financial statements need cleanup before audit. We do not quote a one-size-fits-all number on the page because scope varies widely. After reviewing the facts, we confirm the fee, inclusions, exclusions and expected timeline in clear terms.
