Overview - 3CA-3CD Proprietorship 

Form 3CA-3CD is an essential part of the tax audit process under Section 44AB of the Income Tax Act, 1961. It applies specifically to companies and other entities that require a statutory audit under any other law — like the Companies Act, 2013 — in addition to the income tax audit.

What is Form 3CA-3CD?

  • Form 3CA: This form is a summary report signed by a Chartered Accountant (CA) after auditing the company’s financials. It confirms that the statutory audit has been conducted and provides the audit opinion.
  • Form 3CD: This is a detailed statement of particulars that supplements Form 3CA. It contains detailed financial data — revenue, expenses, deductions, loans, tax compliance, etc. — and ensures the accounts are in line with tax laws.

 

Who Needs to File Form 3CA-3CD companies?

It’s mandatory for:

Companies already subjected to an audit under the Companies Act.
-LLPs or entities requiring audits under other laws.
– Businesses or professions exceeding the tax audit thresholds under Section 44AB.

Benefits of Filing Form 3CA-3CD companies

Filing Form 3CA-3CD isn’t just a legal requirement — it comes with several strategic advantages for companies. Let’s break down the key benefits:

  1. Ensures Legal Compliance
  • Filing 3CA-3CD ensures the company complies with Section 44AB of the Income Tax Act, avoiding penalties and legal issues.
  • It helps maintain transparency and strengthens the company’s credibility with tax authorities.
  1. Strengthens Financial Credibility
  • A certified audit report boosts trust with investors, lenders, and stakeholders.
  • Banks and financial institutions often require audited reports for loans or funding approvals — a properly filed 3CA-3CD supports this.
  1. Identifies Financial Risks and Errors
  • The detailed audit helps uncover financial discrepancies, fraud, or misstatements in accounting records.
  • This proactive check helps management fix issues before they escalate.
  1. Maximizes Tax Benefits
  • The audit ensures companies claim all eligible deductions and tax exemptions under the Income Tax Act, reducing tax liability.
  • It also helps avoid unnecessary taxes due to errors or misreporting.
  1. Protection from Penalties and Scrutiny
  • Timely filing reduces the chances of tax scrutiny or notices from the Income Tax Department.
  • Non-compliance penalties under Section 271B (up to ₹1,50,000) can be avoided.
  1. Enhances Operational Efficiency
  • The audit reveals inefficiencies in bookkeeping and financial management.
  • It encourages companies to improve internal controls, accounting practices, and cost management.
  1. Supports Future Planning and Growth
  • The audit gives a clear financial overview, helping management make informed business decisions.
  • It supports budgeting, forecasting, and future expansion plans

Key Components of Form 3CA-3CD companies

Form 3CA: Summary Report

  • Auditor’s declaration and opinion on the audit.
  • Company’s financial year and relevant tax details.

Form 3CD: Detailed Financial Breakdown

  • Part A: Basic details — Name, PAN, GST, nature of business, etc.
  • Part B: Detailed reporting — income, deductions, depreciation, related party transactions, tax compliance, etc.

Due Date for Filing Form 3CA-3CD companies

For companies and entities subject to tax audit, the deadline is 30th September of the assessment year (e.g., for FY 2024-25, the due date is 30th September 2025).

Penalty for Non-Compliance

  • Penalty under Section 271B can go up to ₹1,50,000 or 0.5% of turnover, whichever is lower.
  • Exemptions from penalty are available if there’s a valid, reasonable cause for the delay (e.g., natural calamities, resignation of the auditor).
