For salaried individuals: Form 16 from your employer (Form 130 for income earned from FY 2026-27 onward), Form 26AS and AIS, bank statements, and proof of any deductions claimed under section 80C of the 1961 Act (section 123 of the Income-tax Act, 2025 for FY 2026-27 onward).

A tax audit under section 44AB of the Income-tax Act applies to businesses and professionals whose turnover or gross receipts exceed the prescribed limits, whatever their legal form. LLPs have a separate statutory audit threshold under the LLP Act. Tell us your entity type and turnover and we will confirm what applies to you.
