Threshold Limit for Tax Audit increased to Rs. 5 crore  [Applicable from Assessment Year 2021-22]

Every person carrying on business and maintaining books  of account is required to get them audited from a Chartered  Accountant if total sales, turnover or gross receipt from business  during the previous year exceeds Rs. 1 crore. 

To reduce compliance burden on small and medium enterprises,  Section 44AB is proposed to be amended to increase the threshold limit, for a person carrying on business, from Rs. 1 crore to Rs. 5  crore.

However, the increased threshold limit of Rs. 5 crore shall  be applicable only when cash receipt and payment made during  the year does not exceed 5% of total receipt or payment, as the  case may be.

In other words, more than 95% of the business  transactions should be done through banking channels.

The applicability of tax audit provisions from Assessment Year  2020-21 can be understood with the help of following table:
