We are a premier Corporate Services firm providing comprehensive Business Advisory, Corporate Registration, Statutory Compliance, and Financial Management Consultancy services.
Statutory Tax Audit facilitation under Section 44AB of the Income-tax Act, 2025 (Income-tax Act, 1961). Independent financial statement examination, 44-clause Form 3CD disclosure verification, Section 43B(h) MSME compliance, and Form 3CA/3CB certification.
Under Section 44AB of the Income-tax Act, 2025 (Income-tax Act, 1961), business entities with gross turnover exceeding ₹1 Crore (or ₹10 Crores where aggregate non-cash transactions exceed 95%) and professionals with gross receipts exceeding ₹50 Lakhs (or ₹75 Lakhs under presumptive taxation) must undergo a comprehensive statutory tax audit by a practicing Chartered Accountant firm. Our practice conducts exhaustive 44-clause verifications in Form 3CD, verifying depreciation computations under Section 32, Section 43B(h) MSME 45-day payment adherence, Section 40A(3) cash restrictions, and quantitative stock reconciliations to eliminate Section 271B penalty exposures.
Comprehensive tax audit facilitation under Section 44AB ensuring independent verification of business books, financial statements, deductions, and accurate submission of Form 3CA (companies) or Form 3CB (non-corporate entities) along with the 44-clause Form 3CD annexure on the CBDT e-filing portal.

Technical guidance notes on tax audits, SA 700 auditing standards, and 44-clause verification guidelines.

We perform meticulous audit verifications across all 44 mandatory reporting clauses of Form 3CD. This encompasses depreciation schedules under Section 32, prior-period expenditure disclosures, Section 40(a)(ia) TDS non-deduction disallowances, Section 40A(3) cash expense violations exceeding ₹10,000, and quantitative trading stock reconciliations aligned with audited financial statements.
Under the strict mandate of Section 43B(h), payments due to registered Micro and Small suppliers beyond 15 or 45 days under written agreement are automatically disallowed as business expenditure and added back to taxable profits. Our team executes comprehensive vendor ledger reconciliations against Udyam databases to identify overdue liabilities, avoiding permanent tax cash outflows.
Depending on corporate or non-corporate status, our audit partners issue Form 3CA (for corporate entities audited under the Companies Act) or Form 3CB (for standalone firms and LLPs) accompanied by the full Form 3CD disclosure annexure, generated with a unique Document Identification Number (UDIN) and filed directly onto the CBDT e-filing portal prior to statutory deadlines.
