AUDIT PROCEDURE IN INDIA

General definition of audit process and procedure

Auditing is a systematic and independent examination of the financial statements, books of accounts,
records, and other supporting documents and operations of an organization, with the goal of determining its
compliance with the relevant laws and regulations and to express an opinion as to whether its financial
statements present a true and fair view of its financial position and performance. The process of auditing is
critical for ensuring the reliability, accuracy, and transparency of financial reporting, and for maintaining
the integrity and confidence of the financial markets.

The audit process typically involves the following steps:

Planning: This is the first step in the audit process and involves the auditor determining the scope of the
audit, the objectives, and the overall audit strategy. The auditor must assess the risks associated with the
entity, its industry, and its financial statements, and then plan how best to address those risks.

Understanding the entity and its environment: The auditor must gain an understanding of the entity’s
business, its operations, its systems, and its internal control environment. The auditor must also
understand the entity’s industry, its economic and regulatory environment, and the entity’s financial
reporting framework.

Assessment of control risk: The auditor must assess the risk of material misstatement in the financial
statements due to deficiencies in the entity’s internal control systems. The auditor must perform procedures
to obtain sufficient evidence to support the assessment of control risk and determine the nature, timing, and
extent of further audit procedures required.

Testing: The auditor must perform audit procedures to test the accuracy and completeness of the financial
information contained in the financial statements. The auditor must also test the effectiveness of the entity’s
internal control systems and the reliability of the information produced by these systems.

Evaluation: The auditor must evaluate the results of the audit procedures performed and determine whether
there is sufficient evidence to support the financial information contained in the financial statements. If
there are any material misstatements in the financial statements, the auditor must determine the root cause
of the misstatements and evaluate the impact of the misstatements on the financial statements.
Concluding and reporting: The auditor must provide an opinion on the financial statements based on the
evidence obtained during the audit. The auditor must also report any material misstatements or deficiencies
in internal control systems to the entity’s management and those charged with governance.

11
The procedures used by auditors in the audit process may vary depending on the type of audit being
performed, the size and complexity of the entity, and the nature of its financial reporting framework.
However, the following are common audit procedures used by auditors:

Inspection: This involves examining the physical evidence of transactions and events, such as invoices,
contracts, and other supporting documents.

Observation: This involves observing the entity’s processes and procedures, such as physical inventory
counts and the processing of transactions.

Inquiry: This involves asking questions of the entity’s management and employees to obtain information
about its operations and systems.

Confirmation: This involves sending requests for confirmation of balances and transactions to third parties,
such as banks and customers.

Re-performance: This involves re-performing the entity’s accounting procedures to verify the accuracy and
completeness of the financial information contained in the financial statements.

Recalculation: This involves recalculating the entity’s financial information to verify its accuracy and
completeness.

Analytical procedures: This involves reviewing the relationships between financial and non- financial
data to identify trends, ratios, and other relationships that might indicate material misstatements in the
financial statements.

In order to carry out the audit process, auditors use a range of audit procedures, including inspection of
physical evidence, observation of operations, inquiry of management and employees, confirmation with
third parties, re-performance of the organization's procedures, recalculation of financial information, and
analytical procedures.

It is important to note that the audit process is not a guarantee that all material misstatements have been
identified, but rather it provides a reasonable level of assurance to stakeholders. The audit process is a
rigorous and comprehensive examination of the financial information, but it is not an exhaustive review of
all aspects of the organization.

12
In conclusion, the audit process is a critical component of the financial reporting system, providing
assurance to stakeholders that the financial information presented is accurate and reliable. The process
involves a thorough examination of the organization's financial records, operations, and processes, and the
use of various audit procedures to test the accuracy and completeness of the financial information. The
ultimate goal of the audit process is to provide stakeholders with confidence in the financial information
being presented.

business structure has its own set of legal and tax implications, so it's important to choose the one

all of the necessary requirements.

In conclusion, company registration is an important step in establishing a legally recognized and

STATUTORY AUDIT:-

Statutory audit is an independent examination of the financial records and operations of a company,
organization, or government agency, to ensure that they comply with applicable laws, regulations,
and standards. The purpose of a statutory audit is to provide assurance to stakeholders, such as
shareholders, regulators, and customers, that the financial information provided by the organization
is accurate and reliable.

The following is a brief overview of the statutory audit process:

Appointment of the Auditor: Statutory audits are typically conducted by an independent auditor who
is appointed by the board of directors of the organization being audited. The auditor must be
licensed and registered with the relevant professional bodies, such as the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India (ICAI).

Planning the Audit: Before the audit begins, the auditor will plan the audit process by assessing the
risk of material misstatement and deciding on the scope and nature of the audit procedures to be
performed. This includes reviewing the organization's internal control systems and assessing the
quality of the financial information being provided.

Gathering Information: During the audit, the auditor will gather information and evidence to
support the financial statements. This may involve reviewing financial records, interviewing
employees, and observing operations.

Evaluating Information: The auditor will evaluate the information gathered during the audit to
determine whether the financial statements are accurate and in compliance with applicable laws and
regulations. The auditor will also consider whether the financial information being provided is
complete and consistent, and whether the internal control systems of the organization are
functioning effectively.

Issuing the Audit Report: After the audit has been completed, the auditor will issue an audit report
that summarizes the results of the audit. The audit report will include the auditor's opinions on the
accuracy and reliability of the financial statements and whether the organization is in compliance
with applicable laws and regulations.

Follow-up: The auditor may also make recommendations for improvements to the organization's
financial reporting processes, internal control systems, or other areas where deficiencies have been
identified. The organization must take appropriate action to implement these recommendations and
ensure that they are in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

In conclusion, the statutory audit is an important process that helps organizations to ensure that their
financial information is accurate and reliable, and that they are in compliance with applicable laws
and regulations. The auditor provides independent assurance to stakeholders that the financial
information provided by the organization is trustworthy, and that the organization is operating in a
manner that is consistent with applicable laws and regulations.

19
TAX AUDIT: -

Tax audit is a process of reviewing an individual or organization's financial records and tax returns
to ensure that they are accurate and comply with applicable tax laws. The purpose of a tax audit is to
determine if a taxpayer has accurately reported their taxable income, claimed appropriate deductions
and credits, and paid the correct amount of taxes.

The following is a brief overview of the tax audit process:

Selection for Audit: Taxpayers are selected for audit based on various factors, such as unusual or
high tax deductions, high net worth, or discrepancies in the tax return compared to similar
taxpayers.
Notification: The taxpayer will receive a notification from the tax authority informing them that they
have been selected for a tax audit. The notification will specify the scope and duration of the audit,
and the documents and records that the taxpayer must provide.

Preparation: The taxpayer should begin preparing for the tax audit by gathering all of the relevant
financial records and tax returns. This may include bank statements, receipts, invoices, and other
documentation that supports the information reported on the tax return.

Audit Process: The tax audit process typically begins with an initial review of the tax return and
financial records. The auditor may ask the taxpayer to provide additional information or clarification
on specific items in the tax return. The auditor may also perform additional tests and procedures,
such as reviewing third-party documentation or conducting on-site inspections.

Audit Report: After the audit has been completed, the auditor will issue an audit report that
summarizes the results of the audit. The audit report will include any findings, such as discrepancies
or inaccuracies in the tax return, and any recommended adjustments to the tax liability.

Appeal: If the taxpayer disagrees with the findings of the tax audit, they have the right to appeal the
decision to a higher authority or to the tax court.

In conclusion, tax audit is an important process that helps to ensure that individuals and
organizations are accurately reporting their taxable income, claiming appropriate deductions and
credits, and paying the correct amount of taxes. While it can be a time-consuming and complex
process, taxpayers should approach a tax audit with professionalism and cooperation to minimize
any potential tax liability and ensure that their financial records are in compliance with applicable
tax laws.

INTERNAL AUDIT: -

20
Internal audit is an independent, objective assurance and consulting activity designed to add value

management, control, and governance processes.

The following is a brief overview of the internal audit process:


Planning: The internal audit process begins with planning, which includes determining the scope and
objectives of the audit, identifying the resources required, and scheduling the audit activities. The
internal auditor will also assess the organization's risk profile and prioritize the areas to be audited.

information and evidence to support the internal auditor's findings and conclusions. This may
include reviewing financial records, interviewing employees, and observing operations.

Evaluation: During the evaluation stage, the internal auditor will analyze the information gathered
during the fieldwork and determine whether the organization's processes and controls are effective
and in compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and standards. The auditor will also consider
the efficiency and effectiveness of the processes and identify areas for improvement.

Reporting: After the internal audit has been completed, the internal auditor will issue a report that
summarizes the results of the audit and provides recommendations for improvement. The report will
be shared with senior management and the board of directors, and may also be shared with other
stakeholders, such as regulators and external auditors.

Follow-up: The internal auditor will follow up on the implementation of the recommendations made
in the audit report to ensure that the necessary improvements have been made. This may involve
conducting additional audits or monitoring the implementation of the recommendations.

In conclusion, internal audit is a valuable process that helps organizations to improve their

OVERVIEW OF TDS

TDS stands for Tax Deducted at Source. It is a system of tax collection in India that requires
individuals and organizations to deduct a portion of the payments they make to others and deposit
the deducted amount with the government as tax. TDS is governed by the provisions of the Income
Tax Act, 1961, and is an important part of the Indian tax system.

22
Under the TDS system, the person making the payment is responsible for deducting tax at the
prescribed rate and depositing it with the government. The person receiving the payment must then
claim credit for the tax deducted and deposited by the person making the payment when filing their
income tax return.

TDS is applicable on various types of payments, including salaries, interest income, commission
income, rent income, and professional fees, among others. The rate of TDS varies depending on the
type of payment and the income tax slab of the recipient.

TDS returns must be filed by the person deducting the tax and depositing it with the government on
a quarterly basis. The TDS returns must be filed electronically and must be accompanied by a
statement of TDS detailing the tax deducted and deposited during the quarter.

Failure to comply with TDS provisions, including the timely filing of TDS returns and the
depositing of TDS with the government, can result in penalties and fines. Therefore, it is important
for individuals and organizations to be aware of their TDS obligations and to comply with the
relevant provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

In India, the following types of income are subject to TDS:

Salary Income: TDS is deducted on salary income at the prescribed rate, which varies depending on
the income tax slab of the employee.

Interest Income: TDS is deducted on interest income received from banks, post offices, and other
financial institutions at the rate of 10%.

Commission Income: TDS is deducted on commission income at the rate of 10%.

Rent Income: TDS is deducted on rent income at the rate of 2% for individuals and HUFs and at the
rate of 5% for other entities.

Professional Fees: TDS is deducted on professional fees, including fees paid to consultants,
engineers, and other professionals, at the rate of 10%.

Winnings from Lotteries, Horse Races, and Other Gaming Activities: TDS is deducted on winnings
from lotteries, horse races, and other gaming activities at the rate of 30%.

Dividend Income: TDS is deducted on dividend income at the rate of 10%.

Sale of Property: TDS is deducted on the sale of property at the rate of 1% for individuals and HUFs
and at the rate of 1.5% for other entities.

Contractor Payments: TDS is deducted on payments made to contractors and sub-contractors for the
execution of works contracts at the rate of 2%.

Insurance Commission: TDS is deducted on insurance commission at the rate of 5%.

23
It is important to note that these are the general rates of TDS and there may be changes based on the
provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Therefore, it is advisable to consult with a tax expert to
confirm the applicable TDS rate for a specific type of income.

OVERVIIEW OF VOUCHER ENTRY

Voucher entry refers to the process of recording transactions in a financial accounting system using
vouchers. A voucher is a document that serves as proof of a financial transaction. In a manual accounting
system, a voucher is typically a physical document, but in a computerized accounting system, it can be an
electronic document.

The voucher entry process typically involves the following steps:

Preparation: A voucher is prepared for each transaction. The voucher includes the date of the transaction,
the name of the payee or recipient, a description of the goods or services received, and the amount of the
transaction.

Approval: The voucher must be approved by an authorized person, such as the manager or accountant,
before it can be recorded in the accounting system.

Recording: Once the voucher is approved, it is recorded in the accounting system. The information on the
voucher is entered into the appropriate accounts, such as accounts payable, accounts receivable, or cash.

Payment: After the voucher has been recorded, payment is made to the recipient. The payment is also
recorded in the accounting system, and the accounts payable account is updated to reflect the payment.

Reporting: Voucher information is used to generate various financial reports, such as balance sheets,
income statements, and cash flow statements. These reports provide a picture of the financial health of the
company and are used by management to make informed decisions.

Voucher entry is an important part of the financial accounting process, as it helps ensure accurate and
timely recording of transactions. This information is used by management to make informed decisions, by
auditors to verify the accuracy of financial statements, and by tax authorities to calculate taxes owed.

OVERVIEW OF GSTR1

GSTR 1 is a crucial form under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime in India, which requires all
registered GST taxpayers, excluding certain categories such as composition dealers, to file a monthly or
quarterly return of all their outward supplies made during the tax period. The form provides a
comprehensive overview of the taxpayer's business activities and is used for calculating the GST liability of
the taxpayer as well as generating invoices for the recipient of the supplies.

The form requires the taxpayer to provide detailed information about all the supplies made during the tax
period, including the nature of the supply, the value of the supply, the GST rate applicable to the supply,

25
and the GST amount charged. The taxpayer must also declare the details of any inward supplies received
for which Input Tax Credit (ITC) has been availed during the tax period.

It is mandatory for all registered taxpayers to file GSTR 1 even if they have not made any supplies during
the tax period. In such cases, they can file a nil return to inform the government of their non-business
activities. The form must be filed electronically through the GST portal and the deadline for filing the form
depends on the taxpayer's turnover and the frequency of filing the return.

The information provided in GSTR 1 forms the basis for the calculation of GST liability by the taxpayer.
The GST collected on outward supplies is credited to the government's account, while the GST paid on
inward supplies is set off against the liability, reducing the overall tax burden on the taxpayer.

Accurate and timely filing of GSTR 1 forms is essential for compliance with the GST rules and regulations.
Inaccurate or late filing of the form can result in various penalties, interest, and fines, which can have a
significant impact on the taxpayer's financial health.

It is also important to note that the recipient of the supplies can only avail Input Tax Credit (ITC) if the
information provided in GSTR 1 by the supplier is accurate and complete. Therefore, it is essential for
taxpayers to maintain proper records of their supplies and ensure that the information provided in
GSTR 1 is accurate and up-to- date.

In conclusion, GSTR 1 is a critical form under the GST regime in India, which requires all registered
taxpayers to declare details of their outward supplies and inward supplies received. The form is used for
calculating GST liability and generating invoices for the recipient of the supplies. Accurate and timely
filing of GSTR 1 forms is crucial for compliance with the GST rules and regulations and to avoid penalties,
fines, and interest.

OVERVIEW OF GSTR2B

GSTR 2B is a summary of all inward supplies made to a taxpayer during a tax period, as reported by their
suppliers in their GSTR 1 forms. It is an auto-generated form that is available on the GST portal for all
registered taxpayers in India. The form provides a consolidated view of all the inward supplies received by
a taxpayer, making it easier for them to reconcile the details and claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) for the GST
paid on those supplies.

The GSTR 2B form contains the following details:

Details of the supplier, including the GSTIN and name


Nature of the supply (goods or services)
Invoice or debit note number and date
Value of the supply

26
GST rate and amount
Eligible ITC amount
ITC claimed or reversed in the current tax period
It is important for taxpayers to regularly review their GSTR 2B forms to ensure that all the inward supplies
received have been correctly reported by their suppliers. Any discrepancies between the inward supplies
reported in the GSTR 2B form and the taxpayer's records should be promptly brought to the attention of the
supplier for correction.

Claiming Input Tax Credit (ITC) is a crucial aspect of the GST regime in India, as it helps reduce the
overall tax burden on the taxpayer. To claim ITC, the taxpayer must have all the relevant invoices and other
supporting documents, such as Delivery Challan or Bill of Supply. The taxpayer must also ensure that the
details of the inward supplies and the related GST have been accurately reported in their GSTR 2B form.

The GSTR 2B form is updated on a daily basis, based on the GSTR 1 forms filed by the suppliers. It is
recommended that taxpayers review their GSTR 2B form regularly to ensure that they are able to claim all
the eligible ITC within the prescribed time limits.

In conclusion, GSTR 2B is an auto-generated form that provides a summary of all inward supplies made to
a taxpayer during a tax period. The form makes it easier for taxpayers to reconcile the details of the inward
supplies received and claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) for the GST paid on those supplies. Regular review of
the GSTR 2B form is important for compliance with the GST rules and regulations and to avoid missing
out on any eligible ITC.

OVERVIEW OF GSTR 3B

GSTR 3B is a self-declared summary return form under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime in India.
It is a simplified form that is required to be filed by all registered GST taxpayers, except for certain
categories of taxpayers such as composition dealers, to pay their GST liability for the tax period. The form
requires taxpayers to declare their total taxable supplies, total input tax credit (ITC) availed, and the net
GST liability for the tax period.

The form must be filed electronically through the GST portal and the deadline for filing the form depends
on the taxpayer's turnover and the frequency of filing the return. The government introduced GSTR 3B as a
temporary measure to provide relief to taxpayers during the initial implementation of GST. The information
provided in GSTR 3B forms the basis for the calculation of GST liability by the taxpayer.

GSTR 3B contains two parts – Part A and Part B. Part A of the form requires taxpayers to declare their total
taxable supplies, total input tax credit (ITC) availed, and the net GST liability for the tax period. Part B of
the form requires taxpayers to make payment of the net GST liability declared in Part A. The payment must
be made through the electronic cash ledger maintained on the GST portal.

The GST collected on outward supplies is credited to the government's account, while the GST paid on
inward supplies is set off against the liability, reducing the overall tax burden on the taxpayer. Accurate and
timely filing of GSTR 3B forms is essential for compliance with the GST rules and regulations. Inaccurate

27
or late filing of the form can result in various penalties, interest, and fines, which can have a significant
impact on the taxpayer's financial health.

The Input Tax Credit (ITC) availed by the taxpayer must be accurately reported in GSTR 3B, as it forms
the basis for the calculation of the GST liability. To claim ITC, the taxpayer must have all the relevant
invoices and other supporting documents, such as Delivery Challan or Bill of Supply. The taxpayer must
also ensure that the details of the inward supplies and the related GST have been accurately reported by the
supplier in their GSTR 1 form.

OVERVIEW OF CREDIT NOTE

A credit note, also known as a debit note or a credit memo, is a document that is issued by a seller to a
buyer to inform the latter that the amount for a previous sale has been adjusted. In the context of GST
(Goods and Services Tax), a credit note is issued to reflect a change in the value of a supply or to rectify an
error in the invoice. The credit note serves as evidence of the adjustment made to the original invoice and
helps in adjusting the amount of tax payable.

Under the GST regime in India, a credit note is issued when there is a change in the value of a supply or a
reduction in the tax liability. For example, a credit note may be issued when there is a reduction in the
selling price, a change in the quantity or quality of the goods or services supplied, or a mistake in the
invoice.

OVERVIEW ON GST

1. WHAT IS GST?

Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a comprehensive indirect tax levied on the supply of goods and services
in a country. It is a value-added tax that replaces multiple indirect taxes levied by the central and state
governments. The purpose of GST is to create a unified tax system that simplifies the indirect tax structure
and reduces the tax burden on consumers.

GST was first introduced in India in 2017 and since then, it has become one of the most important indirect
taxes in the country. Under the GST regime in India, goods and services are taxed at multiple stages of the
supply chain, from production to consumption. GST is a destination-based tax, which means that the tax is
levied at the place where the goods or services are consumed.

GST is applicable to all goods and services, except for a few items that have been exempt from tax. GST is
levied at different rates for different goods and services, ranging from 0% to 28%. The GST council, which
is a constitutional body, determines the GST rate for each item.
In India, GST is governed by the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 and the State Goods and
Services Tax Act, 2017. The GST Act lays down the provisions related to registration, returns, payment of
tax, and other related matters.

The GST regime in India has several advantages. It has reduced the cascading effect of taxes and has made
the indirect tax structure simpler. GST has also increased the efficiency of the tax system by reducing the
compliance burden on taxpayers and by improving the administration of taxes. GST has also led to an
increase in the revenue collections of the central and state governments.

However, the implementation of GST in India has also faced some challenges. The complex GST laws and
the frequent changes made to the laws have caused confusion among taxpayers. The cumbersome process
of filing GST returns and the lack of proper infrastructure have also been a challenge.

In conclusion, GST is a comprehensive indirect tax levied on the supply of goods and services in a country.
It is a value-added tax that replaces multiple indirect taxes and creates a unified tax system. GST has
several advantages, such as reducing the cascading effect of taxes, increasing the efficiency of the tax
system, and increasing the revenue collections of the government. However, the implementation of GST
has also faced some challenges, such as confusion among taxpayers, the cumbersome process of filing
returns, and the lack of proper infrastructure.

ADVANTAGES OF GST

35
Goods and Services Tax (GST) has been implemented in many countries as a comprehensive indirect tax on
the supply of goods and services. The implementation of GST has brought several advantages to the
economy and the tax system of a country. Some of the key advantages of GST are discussed below:

Reduced cascading effect of taxes: GST replaces multiple indirect taxes levied by the central and state
governments, such as VAT, excise duty, service tax, etc. This reduces the cascading effect of taxes, as taxes
are now levied only on the value added at each stage of the supply chain. This results in a lower tax burden
on consumers and improves the competitiveness of goods and services in the domestic market.

Improved tax compliance: GST has improved tax compliance by simplifying the indirect tax structure. The
implementation of GST has made it easier for taxpayers to understand their tax obligations and to comply
with the tax laws. The use of technology, such as GSTN, has made it easier for taxpayers to file their
returns and to pay their taxes. This has reduced the compliance burden on taxpayers and has improved the
efficiency of the tax system.

Increased revenue collections: GST has increased the revenue collections of the central and state
governments. The unified tax system has reduced the opportunities for tax evasion and has improved the
tax administration. The improved tax compliance and the reduced tax evasion have led to an increase in the
revenue collections of the government.

Improved competitiveness: GST has improved the competitiveness of goods and services in the domestic
market. The reduced cascading effect of taxes has made goods and services more competitive, both in terms
of price and quality. This has led to an increase in the demand for goods and services and has boosted the
growth of the economy.

Increased transparency: GST has increased transparency in the indirect tax system. The unified tax system
has made it easier for taxpayers to understand their tax obligations and to comply with the tax laws. The use
of technology, such as GSTN, has also made it easier for taxpayers to track the movement of goods and
services and to claim input tax credits. This has reduced the opportunities for tax evasion and has improved
the tax administration.

Improved inter-state trade: GST has improved inter-state trade by eliminating the barriers to trade created
by different indirect tax laws in different states. The unified tax system has made it easier for businesses to
trade across state borders and has reduced the compliance burden on taxpayers. This has led to an increase
in inter-state trade and has boosted the growth of the economy.

Reduced tax disputes: GST has reduced tax disputes by simplifying the indirect tax structure. The unified
tax system has made it easier for taxpayers to understand their tax obligations and to comply with the tax
laws. The use of technology, such as GSTN, has also made it easier for taxpayers to track the movement of
goods and services and to claim input tax credits. This has reduced the opportunities for tax disputes and
has improved the tax administration.

In conclusion, GST has several advantages, such as reduced cascading effect of taxes, improved tax
compliance, increased revenue collections, improved competitiveness, increased transparency, improved
inter-state trade, and reduced tax disputes. The implementation of GST has brought several benefits to the
economy and the tax system of a country and has made it easier for taxpayers to comply with the tax laws.

36
However, it is important to ensure that the GST laws are implemented effectively and that the tax
administration is improved to ensure that the benefits of GST are fully realized.

Overview of Income tax

Income Tax is a direct tax levied by the government on the income earned by individuals, companies,
Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs), firms, and other entities. The Income Tax Act, 1961 governs the
taxation of income in India. The act provides for the calculation and collection of tax on the income earned
by individuals, companies, and other entities in India. The Income Tax Department is responsible for the
administration and enforcement of the Income Tax Act in India.

Income Tax is calculated based on the taxable income, which is the difference between the total income and
the deductions and exemptions allowed under the Income Tax Act. The total income includes income from
various sources such as salary, business or profession, capital gains, house property, and other sources. The
deductions and exemptions allowed under the Income Tax Act include investments in specified savings and
insurance products, payments made towards life insurance premiums, medical insurance, and other similar
expenses.

The tax rate applicable to an individual depends on the taxable income and the type of taxpayer. For
individuals, the tax rate varies from 0% to 30%, based on the taxable income. For companies, the tax rate is
22% for the financial year 2021-22 and 25% for the financial year 2022-23 and subsequent financial years.

The due date for the filing of Income Tax returns is 31st July of each financial year. Individuals, companies,
and other entities are required to file their returns within the due date, even if they have not earned any
taxable income during the financial year. The returns filed by individuals and companies are processed by
the Income Tax
Department, and in case of any discrepancies, the taxpayer is required to respond to the notice issued by the
department.

Income Tax has several advantages. It helps the government to mobilize resources for various development
activities and to provide basic amenities to the citizens. It also provides an opportunity for the citizens to
plan their finances and to reduce their tax liability by making eligible investments and claims. The income
tax returns filed by individuals and companies provide valuable information to the government about the
economic activities in the country.

In conclusion, Income Tax is a direct tax levied by the government on the income earned by individuals,
companies, and other entities in India. The Income Tax Act, 1961 governs the taxation of income in India
and provides for the calculation and collection of tax on the income earned. The tax rate varies based on the
taxable income and the type of taxpayer, and the returns are required to be filed within the due date of 31st
July of each financial year. The Income Tax Department is responsible for the administration and
enforcement of the Income Tax Act in India.

38
Income tax slab rate

The Income Tax slab rate is the rate at which tax is levied on an individual's taxable income. The slab rate
system is applicable to resident individuals, Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs), and firms in India. The tax
slab rates are revised by the government from time to time, and the current slab rates are applicable for the
financial year 2022-
23.

The tax slab rates for the financial year 2022-23 are as follows:

For individuals below the age of 60 years:

LEARNING

Behavioral learning from the Organization


1. COMMUNICATION

Good communication consists of many other different sub-skills, from suitable patterns of body
language and eye contact with the ability to follow instruction are especially important but are often
ignored or taken for granted. Many people simply do not pay close attention to what other say or
write and do not ask follow – up question to check their understanding. As a result, individuals act
on their own inaccurate assumption and create inefficiencies and frustration at work.
Communication training will help them overcome these challenges.

2. Goal setting and planning

Anybody can wish for something to happen, but to accomplish anything one must plan which
surprisingly few people know how to do. Planning requires setting concrete goals, identifying
workable action steps, and making a commitment to see the plan through.

Even setting the primary goal can be difficult when multiple issues are competing for attention.
Effective planning requires arranging problems by importance and delegation. It is impossible to do
everything at once, but if one focuses on the most important tasks and ask for help, then can
accomplish a lot.

3. SELF – IMPROVEMENT

Life in the workplace should not enforce stagnation; there should be a constant need or desire for
improvement. Satisfaction leads to a perception of repetition, which is the essential of a job perceived

40
as unchallenging. Employees should improve to avoid both the frustration of inexperience and
contentment with their work.

People always have room to grow, and advance behavioral skills are always welcomed. At the upper
end, one can give your workers the tools and mindset to aim for improvement by observing their
behavior, work habits and production. Self – improvement training will help provide feedback and
criticism that they can use to benefit to their next assignments. An essential part of promoting
improvement is to communicate to the employees that failure.

4. Empathy

Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of others. It is a complex emotional and
cognitive response that involves recognizing and interpreting the emotional states of others and then
responding to them in an appropriate way. Empathy helps us to connect with others and to build
strong, supportive relationships. It is also a key component of emotional intelligence, as it enables us
to understand the perspectives of others and to respond to their needs in a compassionate and
understanding way. Empathy can be developed through practice and by learning to be more mindful
of the emotions of those around us.

5. Conflict resolution

Conflict resolution is the process of resolving disputes or disagreements between individuals or


groups in a peaceful and mutually acceptable manner. Conflict can arise due to a variety of reasons,
such as differences in opinions, beliefs, values, or interests. Effective conflict resolution requires
good communication skills, a willingness to compromise, and the ability to understand the
perspectives of others.

There are several approaches to conflict resolution, including negotiation, mediation, arbitration, and
litigation. Negotiation involves direct communication between the parties involved in the conflict,
with the aim of finding a mutually acceptable solution. Mediation involves a neutral third party who
helps to facilitate communication and negotiation between the parties. Arbitration involves a neutral
third party who hears evidence and makes a binding decision to resolve the conflict. Litigation
involves resolving a conflict through the legal system.

It is important to address conflicts in a timely manner and to use an appropriate approach that meets
the needs of all parties involved. Effective conflict resolution can lead to improved relationships,
better decision-making, and increased cooperation and understanding.

5 BEST PRACTICES OBSERVED IN THE ORGANIZATION

41
1. There is no racism on the basis of any caste, creed, color or gender. Everyone is treated same
thus making it easy to co- ordinate with each other. The mentors as well as the colleagues are
always ready to sort out any problem that the intern could not resolve on their own.

2. Everyone is disciplined and dedicated towards their jobs, thus provides motivation to do our jobs
perfectly and to learn and grab as much as we can. The perfect competitive environment always
motivate to excel in our job responsibility and to perform better then we are performing.

3. The working environment is lenient in the organization. Neither the employees are overburdened
by the work given. Neither they nor the proprietor force them to work for extra time. All the
work/ targets are completed by the employees in the provided time frame.

4. The employees are always energetic and ready to do work; they don’t waste their time. They
always strive for excellence in their work. Even if the proprietor is not at the office they don’t
skip work hours.

5. The proprietor is really good at customer handling, he is always too humble towards the client
even though if the clients are in bad mood or tempered, he never losses his temper and handles
them greet fully. He never abuses his employees even if they make silly mistakes, and corrects
their mistakes by smiling and sarcastically commenting on it so the employees don’t feel down
and eventually improve themselves.

SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Though the organization is really good at everything and everything is well maintained and managed. But
still there are some chances of improvement whether it is a human being or any organization till there are
improvements and chances to develop and grow, the organization must improve itself at its best. In my
opinion some of the suggestion/ recommendation are :
1. They have good opportunity to introduce the ISO standard training program which no other firm is
giving to customer.
2. Try to adopt new technologies that their competitors are not using.
3. Make a network that allow its customer to negotiate with them easily.
4. The local economy continues to be strong and we believe our typical clients will continues to
flourish.
5. The company as mostly professional educated human resources, which are the biggest threat to their
competitors.
6. The partner need to make the best use of their goodwill to bring more client and reputation to firm.
They need to offer the audit services at most economical cost with the assured quality services to
retain and expand client.
7. The infrastructure an working condition review can improve the working efficiency of the trainee.
Audit and Assurance is the tough job. Some motivational meeting and mentoring exercises would
bring good feel among employee for their work. Time to time financial bonuses or performance
incentive will energize the staff.
8. The trainees are not offered extra financial or any other incentive for the extra work or over time.
This causes some sort of abstraction which immediately need to be overcome by the management.
9. The firm, to be more competitive in future, still has room for improvement in information
technology. As firm don’t have any of its website to attract customer and their timely feedback as
most of the good firm have their own web and well organized.
10. Firm also lacks in marketing perspective as it does not any marketer to market and introduced their
business, firm is getting business only on personal relation of the partner and other firm personnel.
So if firm want to improve its business volume it need a professional marketer as many other big
firm wants to improve
its business volume it need a professional marketer as many other firm as adopted.
