This guide clears it up. (Thresholds can change \u2014 confirm the current limits.)<\/p>\n<h2>Companies \u2014 statutory audit applies to ALL, with no turnover limit<\/h2>\n<p>Every <strong>company<\/strong> registered under the Companies Act 2013 \u2014 private limited, public, OPC, Section 8 \u2014 must get its accounts <strong>statutorily audited by a Chartered Accountant every year<\/strong>, regardless of turnover or profit. There is <strong>no minimum turnover<\/strong> below which a company is exempt from statutory audit.<\/p>\n<h2>LLPs \u2014 audit above a threshold<\/h2>\n<p>A <strong>Limited Liability Partnership<\/strong> must get a statutory audit if its <strong>turnover exceeds \u20b940 lakh<\/strong> in a financial year <strong>or<\/strong> its <strong>capital contribution exceeds \u20b925 lakh<\/strong>. Below both limits, an LLP audit is not mandatory (though a tax audit may still apply).<\/p>\n<h2>Proprietorships &amp; partnership firms \u2014 no statutory audit, only tax audit<\/h2>\n<p>An ordinary proprietorship or partnership firm has <strong>no statutory audit<\/strong> requirement merely for existing. They may, however, require a <strong>tax audit<\/strong> under Section 44AB.<\/p>\n<h2>Tax audit (Section 44AB) \u2014 a separate concept<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Business:<\/strong> \u20b91 crore turnover (\u20b910 crore if cash receipts &amp; payments are each \u22645%).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Profession:<\/strong> \u20b950 lakh gross receipts.<\/li>\n<li>Plus the presumptive-scheme trigger where lower profits are declared.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So a small company with \u20b95 lakh turnover still needs a <strong>statutory audit<\/strong> (company rule) even though it&#8217;s below the tax-audit limit.
