What is the tax audit limit for professionals?

Short answerA professional needs a tax audit if gross receipts exceed ₹50 lakh in the year. If you use presumptive taxation under 44ADA (receipts up to ₹75 lakh with cash within 5%) and declare at least 50% as income, no audit is needed; declare less and audit applies.

₹50 lakh receipts

Cross ₹50 lakh of professional receipts and a tax audit is required. Confirm current limits.

44ADA interaction

Opting for presumptive 44ADA and declaring 50%+ keeps you out of audit; declaring lower brings it back.
