What is the Section 44AB tax audit threshold for FY 2024-25 in MEPZ-Tambaram SEZ, Chennai?
Section 44AB of the Income Tax Act mandates tax audit where (a) business turnover exceeds ₹1 crore — increased to ₹10 crore where aggregate cash receipts and cash payments are each ≤ 5% of total receipts/payments; (b) profession gross receipts exceed ₹50 lakh; (c) presumptive scheme assessees under Sections 44AD/44ADA who declare lower profits than presumptive rate or whose turnover exceeds presumptive limits (₹3 crore u/s 44AD if cash ≤ 5%, else ₹2 crore; ₹75 lakh u/s 44ADA if cash ≤ 5%, else ₹50 lakh). The auditor furnishes Form 3CA/3CB with Form 3CD before 30th September.
Applicable Laws & Rules
SectionSection 128 and 129 of the Companies Act 2013 — Section 128(1) requires every company to keep books of account at its registered office on accrual basis and double-entry system; Section 128(2) read with Rule 3 of Companies (Accounts) Rules 2014 permits electronic mode with back-up server in India; Section 128(5) preservation for 8 years; Section 129(1) financial statements to give a true and fair view in Schedule III format and comply with accounting standards notified under Section 133.
ScheduleSchedule III of the Companies Act 2013 — Division I prescribes Balance Sheet and Statement of Profit & Loss format for companies preparing financial statements under Indian GAAP (AS-1 to AS-29 notified under Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules 2021); Division II for companies preparing under Ind AS (Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules 2015); Division III for NBFCs preparing under Ind AS. Notes formats, rounding-off, current vs non-current classification and ageing schedules for trade payables / receivables / borrowings are mandated.
SectionSection 43B(h) of the Income Tax Act 1961 inserted by the Finance Act 2023 effective 1 April 2024 (AY 2024-25) — sum payable to a micro or small enterprise registered under the MSMED Act 2006 beyond the time limit specified in Section 15 (45 days where written agreement exists, else 15 days) is allowable as a deduction only in the year of actual payment.

Relevant Court Rulings
Supreme Court (2022)
Checkmate Services P. Ltd. v. CIT (2022) 448 ITR 518 (SC) — Supreme Court held that employees' contribution to PF and ESI deducted from salary is allowable under Section 36(1)(va) only if deposited within the due date specified in the relevant statute (15th of next month for PF). Section 43B due-date relaxation does not apply to employees' contributions. Strict bookkeeping of statutory dues aging is now indispensable for any tax-deductible salary cost.
SA-240

Books-rejection exposure
ICAI-compliant books supported by vouchers and bank reconciliation resist Section 145(3) rejection — CIT v Rai Bahadur Hardutroy Motilal Chamaria SC permits revised accounts in genuine error
Books exposing CIT v Vegetable Products SC Section 145(3) rejection followed by best-judgment assessment under Section 144 with adverse inference on undisclosed turnover
Tax planning vs avoidance
Accurate books supporting bona-fide deductions within statutory framework — Brij Mohan v CIT SC accepts quality-of-books as evidence of bona-fide conduct in assessment

Manual ledgers permitted under Section 128 only where supported by mechanical or other devices; lack of audit trail invites scrutiny under Section 143(3)(j) auditor reporting requirements
Accounting software

Posting cadence
Books closed each calendar month with monthly trial balance, GSTR-1 / GSTR-3B reconciliation, and TDS Section 200 deposit by the 7th of following month
Books closed once a quarter; works for very small turnover but raises Section 145(3) Income-tax Act rejection-of-accounts risk where transactions are dense and unrecorded gaps appear
Statutory framework
ICAI Accounting Standards notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act 2013 read with Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules 2021 binding on every accounting entity
Trade-customary recordkeeping without standards reference; AO may invoke Section 145(3) of the Income-tax Act 1961 to reject books for non-conformity with notified accounting standards

Accounting & Bookkeeping in MEPZ-Tambaram SEZ, Chennai 600045
MEPZ-Tambaram is India's first multi-product Export Processing Zone hosting electronics garments engineering and pharmaceutical units engaged in 100% export. MEPZ-Tambaram SEZ (PIN 600045) falls under the Tambaram Division of the Chennai South, the jurisdiction that handles statutory matters for businesses at this PIN. For Accounting & Bookkeeping at PIN 600045, understanding the Tambaram Division's documentation norms removes most of the friction from the process. Every MEPZ-Tambaram SEZ engagement we open begins with the basics: PIN 600045, the Tambaram Division, and the coordinates 12.9219, 80.1144 that anchor the locality.
MEPZ-Tambaram SEZ reads as a multi product export sez pocket with high commercial activity, anchored around Madras Export Processing Zone and fed by the MEPZ Bus Stop corridor. Working in MEPZ-Tambaram SEZ brings a logistical edge: proximity to Madras Export Processing Zone and the MEPZ Bus Stop corridor keeps physical document handling fast. Most commerce in MEPZ-Tambaram SEZ — invoices, expenses, purchases and statutory records — eventually surfaces in the Bookkeeping working file we maintain for clients here. Commercial activity in MEPZ-Tambaram SEZ runs high, so Bookkeeping volumes scale through peak months and we staff the MEPZ-Tambaram SEZ desk accordingly.
Because MEPZ-Tambaram SEZ hosts a cluster of engineering businesses, we benchmark each new Accounting & Bookkeeping engagement against patterns we already track for the locality. For a engineering business in MEPZ-Tambaram SEZ, the Accounting & Bookkeeping scope is rarely generic; we tailor the checklist to how that sector actually transacts. Sector concentration matters: when MEPZ-Tambaram SEZ leans toward engineering, the Bookkeeping risks cluster around the same few line items each cycle. Mixed engineering activity across MEPZ-Tambaram SEZ means our Bookkeeping team keeps sector playbooks ready rather than improvising per client.
We keep a repeatable Bookkeeping checklist for MEPZ-Tambaram SEZ so nothing in the cycle is improvised or missed. Every Bookkeeping file we open for MEPZ-Tambaram SEZ is reconciled, reviewed by a qualified practitioner, and archived for seven years. Our MEPZ-Tambaram SEZ Bookkeeping process is built to be predictable, documented, and on time, cycle after cycle. From the first Accounting & Bookkeeping cycle, a MEPZ-Tambaram SEZ engagement is set up to be audit-ready rather than reconstructed under pressure later.
Accounting & Bookkeeping clients in Chromepet are handled by the same practitioners who run our MEPZ-Tambaram SEZ desk. A client relocating between MEPZ-Tambaram SEZ and Chromepet keeps the same Bookkeeping file and the same team. Businesses straddling MEPZ-Tambaram SEZ and Chromepet get a single Bookkeeping point of contact rather than two. We treat MEPZ-Tambaram SEZ and Chromepet as one catchment for Accounting & Bookkeeping, which keeps documentation and turnaround consistent.
Each engagement in MEPZ-Tambaram SEZ adds to a record of what the Chennai South jurisdiction expects, sharpening the next Bookkeeping file. The Accounting & Bookkeeping mistakes we see most in MEPZ-Tambaram SEZ are avoidable with disciplined intake, which our checklist enforces. Sector signals in MEPZ-Tambaram SEZ — seasonal pharmaceuticals swings and peak-period volumes — shape how we schedule Bookkeeping work. Recurring gaps in MEPZ-Tambaram SEZ pharmaceuticals records are the first thing our Accounting & Bookkeeping review closes out.
Relocating a registered office into MEPZ-Tambaram SEZ (PIN 600045) changes the assessing division, and we handle that Accounting & Bookkeeping transition cleanly. We onboard new MEPZ-Tambaram SEZ entities onto a Accounting & Bookkeeping cadence that is audit-ready from the very first cycle. New engineering ventures in MEPZ-Tambaram SEZ lean on us to stand up Accounting & Bookkeeping correctly before the first deadline rather than after a notice. Shifting principal place of business to MEPZ-Tambaram SEZ means updating jurisdiction to the Chennai South, and we manage the paperwork end-to-end.

People Also Ask — Bookkeeping in MEPZ-Tambaram SEZ
Are bookkeeping records mandatory under Indian law?
Yes. Section 128 of the Companies Act 2013 makes books of account mandatory for every company, on accrual basis and double-entry system, preserved for 8 years. Section 44AA of the Income Tax Act mandates books for professionals (with gross receipts > ₹1.5 lakh in 3 years) and for businesses (turnover > ₹10 lakh in 3 years). Section 35 of the CGST Act 2017 requires every registered person to maintain inward and outward supply records, stock registers, ITC registers and tax payable/paid registers.
What is the difference between Tally Prime and Zoho Books?
Tally Prime is the dominant on-premise accounting software for Indian SMEs — strong on Schedule III/VI reporting, multi-godown inventory, statutory GST/TDS compliance, e-invoicing and payroll. Zoho Books is cloud-first SaaS with multi-user collaboration, integrated CRM, automated bank feeds, project billing and Indian-localised GST modules. Tally Prime suits manufacturing, trading and Schedule III companies; Zoho Books suits service businesses, freelancers and proprietorships preferring cloud access. We standardise based on transaction volume, multi-user need and audit requirements.
How frequently should bank reconciliation be done for MEPZ-Tambaram SEZ businesses?
Best practice is monthly Bank Reconciliation Statement (BRS) before closing the trial balance and computing GST output liability for the period. For MEPZ-Tambaram SEZ businesses with > 100 daily bank transactions or with multiple OD / CC / term loan accounts, weekly or daily BRS is recommended. Material unreconciled differences > 60 days are written back to suspense and reported as risk of material misstatement under SA 315. The auditor obtains a direct bank confirmation under SA 505 at year-end to validate the closing reconciliation.
What is the difference between depreciation under Schedule II Companies Act and Section 32 IT Act?
Schedule II of the Companies Act 2013 prescribes useful life — buildings 60 years, factory buildings 30 years, plant & machinery 8 years (continuous process plant 25 years), furniture 10 years, computers 3 years (servers 6 years) — with rate derived as 1/useful life on SLM or WDV basis. Section 32 of the Income Tax Act applies block-of-asset method on WDV basis with notified rates — buildings 10%, plant 15%, computers 40%, intangibles 30%, motor vehicles 15%. The book vs tax depreciation difference is a timing difference booked as AS-22 / Ind AS 12 deferred tax.
What is Section 43B(h) MSME and how does it impact my year-end bookkeeping?
Section 43B(h) of the Income Tax Act, inserted by Finance Act 2023 from AY 2024-25, disallows deduction for any sum payable to a micro or small enterprise (registered under Udyam) beyond the time limit in Section 15 of the MSMED Act 2006 — 45 days where written agreement exists, else 15 days. Such sums are allowable only in the year of actual payment. Year-end aging of Udyam-classified vendors is extracted, unpaid balances are added back in the tax computation (Form 3CD clause 22) and a payment plan for early-clearance is recommended.
What is the difference between AS framework and Ind AS framework?
AS framework refers to Accounting Standards AS-1 to AS-29 notified under Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules 2021 — applied by non-Ind AS companies. Ind AS framework refers to Indian Accounting Standards Ind AS 1 to 116 notified under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules 2015 — converged with IFRS and applicable to listed companies, companies with net worth ≥ ₹250 crore, holding/subsidiary/associate/JV of such, and NBFCs above ₹500 crore. Ind AS introduces fair-value measurement, ECL on financial assets (Ind AS 109), Right-of-Use lease accounting (Ind AS 116) and the 5-step revenue model (Ind AS 115).
How long must GST records be retained?
Section 35(1) of the CGST Act 2017 read with Rule 56 of the CGST Rules requires retention of records and books for 72 months from the due date of the annual return for the relevant financial year, longer if any appeal is pending.
How long must income-tax records be retained?
Rule 6F of the Income-tax Rules requires retention for 6 financial years from the end of the relevant assessment year. Section 149 reassessment window extends to 10 years for high-value escaped-income cases, recommending 10-year retention as best practice.
Are entries in books of account admissible as evidence?
Section 34 of the Indian Evidence Act 1872 makes entries in books of account regularly kept relevant whenever a transaction is in question, though not by themselves sufficient to charge a person with liability without independent corroborating evidence.
Are bank statements admissible as evidence?
The Bankers' Books Evidence Act 1891 makes certified copies of entries in bankers' books admissible as prima facie evidence of the matters and transactions recorded, relied on frequently where books of account are rejected or unavailable.
What is the difference between monthly and quarterly bookkeeping?
Monthly bookkeeping closes books each calendar month enabling timely GST and TDS compliance, advance-tax estimation, and lender-covenant reporting. Quarterly bookkeeping closes only every three months — workable for very small turnover but raises Section 145(3) rejection risk on dense-transaction businesses.
What is the McDowell anti-avoidance principle?
McDowell & Co v Commercial Tax Officer SC held that colourable devices designed to avoid tax should not be sustained merely because they wear a legal form. The doctrine empowers AO to look at substance over form in arrangements lacking business purpose.

Accounting & Bookkeeping in Chennai () is delivered at FilingPro under Section 128 of the Companies Act 2013 — books on accrual basis, double-entry, audit-trail edit-log enabled (mandatory under Rule 3(1) Companies (Accounts) Rules 2014 from 1 April 2023), preserved for 8 years and produced in Schedule III Division I (or Division II for Ind AS) format every month. Tally Prime, Zoho Books or QuickBooks — your software, our discipline.
Why accounting & bookkeeping matters for your business
Form 3CD 44 Clauses Schedule-Ready
Form 3CD clause-wise schedules — clause 13 method, 14 inventory, 17 land/building 50C, 18 depreciation, 21 disallowance, 22 MSME 43B(h), 26 Section 43B, 31 269SS/T, 34 TDS, 44 GST expenditure — all extracted directly from the Tally trial balance with no last-minute scramble.
CARO 2020 21 Clauses Pre-Documented
PPE register, inventory physical verification, loans & investments, Section 185/186, deposits, statutory dues aging, undisclosed income, loan default, fraud reporting, NBFC compliance and cash losses — all CARO 2020 21 clauses prepared in advance for the Chennai client's auditor.
GSTR-3B vs GSTR-2B Match Improved
Monthly purchase register reconciliation against GSTR-2B for Chennai clients moves the GSTR-3B vs GSTR-2B match ratio above 98% — ITC reversal with 24% interest under Rule 36(4)(b) eliminated.
How the engagement runs end to end
Onboarding & Opening Balance Migration
For Chennai clients FilingPro collects prior audited financials, last trial balance and tax computation; verifies opening balances of fixed assets, debtors, creditors, statutory dues, deferred tax, advance tax / TDS receivable; and migrates to Tally Prime / Zoho Books with Schedule III re-grouping. Vendor master is built with Udyam classification.
Daily / Weekly Voucher Posting
Sales, purchase, cash, bank, journal and contra vouchers posted as documents flow on WhatsApp from the Chennai client. RCM bills under Section 9(3) booked separately with self-invoice. Capex segregated for AS-10 / Ind AS 16 PPE register and Section 32 block-of-asset addition.
Monthly BRS + GSTR-2B Reconciliation
Bank statements imported and BRS finalised for every account. Purchase register reconciled against GSTR-2B — supplier-not-filed, value mismatch, rate mismatch and 17(5)-blocked items flagged. Output GST liability reconciled with sales register; reverse charge under Section 9(3) brought to account.
What FilingPro brings to the engagement
Tally Prime Senior Hands
FilingPro accountants have built and re-grouped Tally Prime ledgers continuously since the Tally 9 era. Schedule III Division I/II re-classification, multi-godown inventory and statutory GST/TDS templates pre-wired for Chennai clients.
ICAI Accounting Standards Compliance
Every transaction is recognised, measured and disclosed under the applicable AS or Ind AS. Going concern (AS-1 / Ind AS 1), revenue (AS-9 / Ind AS 115), inventory (AS-2 / Ind AS 2), employee benefits (AS-15 / Ind AS 19) — all enforced at the entry level.
Schedule III Format from Day 1
For Chennai companies the trial balance is mapped to Schedule III current/non-current classification and ageing schedules from day 1 — no year-end re-grouping cycle, no auditor re-opening of vouchers.

Glossary
Plain-English glossary for this service
Direct Expenses vs Indirect Expenses
Direct expenses are those attributable directly to the cost of goods or services produced (raw material, direct labour, manufacturing overheads) and appear above the gross-profit line. Indirect expenses are administrative, selling and distribution overheads appearing below gross profit.
Capital vs Revenue Expenditure
Capital expenditure creates an enduring benefit or asset and is capitalised on the balance sheet, depreciated over useful life. Revenue expenditure is consumed within the year and charged to the profit and loss account. Misclassification triggers Section 37 or Section 32 challenges.
Personal vs Real vs Nominal accounts
Traditional account classification: Personal accounts relate to persons (debtors, creditors, capital); Real accounts relate to assets (cash, building, stock); Nominal accounts relate to expenses, incomes, gains and losses. Each class follows specific debit and credit rules under the golden rules of accounting.
Cash book
Subsidiary book that records all cash and bank receipts and payments in chronological order. Acts as both a journal and a ledger for cash and bank columns. Reconciled monthly to bank statements via the BRS.
Day book
Book of original entry where each transaction is recorded as it occurs, before being posted to the ledger. In modern accounting software the day book is the journal voucher listing in chronological order.
Journal
Primary book of entry where transactions are first recorded in double-entry form showing debit and credit aspects with narration. All ledger postings flow from journal entries.
Ledger
Principal book of accounts containing individual account-wise summary of all transactions affecting that account during the period. Forms the basis for trial balance preparation.
Trial Balance
Statement listing all ledger balances classified as debit or credit as on a particular date, used to verify the arithmetical accuracy of postings and as the starting point for preparing final accounts.
Sundry Debtors
Aggregate of customers and parties from whom amounts are receivable on account of sales of goods or services on credit. Disclosed under Trade Receivables in Schedule III Division I current-assets group.
Sundry Creditors
Aggregate of vendors and parties to whom amounts are payable on account of purchases of goods or services on credit. Disclosed under Trade Payables in Schedule III with separate MSME and non-MSME sub-classification per Section 22 of MSMED Act.
Suspense Account
Temporary holding account used to record entries that cannot immediately be classified to a specific ledger pending investigation. Must be cleared by year-end; carrying balances invite audit qualification.
Bank Reconciliation
Statement reconciling the bank balance per cash book with the bank balance per bank statement as on a given date, explaining variances arising from outstanding cheques, uncleared deposits, bank charges, and direct credits.
By Industry
Industry-specific patterns in MEPZ-Tambaram SEZ
How the local trade mix shapes this — Across MEPZ-Tambaram SEZ, the cluster of electronics, engineering, garments businesses that defines MEPZ-Tambaram SEZ's commercial fabric.
Restaurants & Food Service
Common issue:Restaurants mix owner drawings, staff advances and cash purchases through the till, leaving unexplained cash and a suppressed purchase record that fails both GST margin checks and any bank loan appraisal.
How we handle it:Route all purchases through the firm's bank or a petty-cash imprest with vouchers, record aggregator (Swiggy/Zomato) settlements gross with their TCS and commission split out, and keep owner drawings in a separate capital account.
Professionals & Consultants
Common issue:Doctors, architects and consultants record only banked fees and miss cash receipts and TDS-deducted receipts, so Form 26AS shows more income than the books, triggering a Section 143(1) mismatch notice.
How we handle it:Reconcile fee income to Form 26AS/AIS every quarter, book gross receipts before TDS with the TDS credit posted separately, and maintain a simple receipts-and-payments plus expense ledger for the presumptive or regular return.
Construction & Contractors
Common issue:Contractors receive running-account bills with retention money and mobilisation advances that are booked as plain income or expense, distorting turnover and hiding the retention receivable that matters for both tax and working-capital finance.
How we handle it:Account for each contract with separate ledgers for gross bills, retention receivable, mobilisation advance and TDS under Section 194C, and recognise revenue on certified work done so turnover and margin are stated correctly.
Retail & Trading
Common issue:Retail and FMCG traders run large volumes of small cash and UPI sales that are recorded late or in a spreadsheet, so the books never reconcile with the bank statement and GST output in GSTR-1 drifts away from the sales ledger, inviting Section 61 GST scrutiny of turnover.
How we handle it:Move to daily POS-to-ledger posting with weekly bank reconciliation, tag every sale with its GST rate at entry, and reconcile the sales register to GSTR-1 and the e-way-bill data each month before filing.
IT & Software Services
Common issue:IT-services firms bill overseas clients in foreign currency and book revenue on receipt rather than on accrual, mismatching the books against FIRC/e-BRC records and understating debtors, which distorts both the P&L and the Section 44AB audit position.
How we handle it:Recognise export revenue on invoice date at the RBI reference rate, track each invoice to its FIRC and e-BRC, and maintain a separate EEFC and receivables schedule so foreign-exchange gains and TDS credits reconcile at year end.
Case Studies
Anonymised engagements we have handled
Real client situations (names changed); illustrative of the kind of work we do.
Issue:An engineering company's statutory auditor flagged that the accounting software had been used with audit-trail disabled for 4 months out of the financial year, triggering qualified reporting under CARO 2020 Clause (xi)(b). The qualification risked breach of bank covenants linked to clean audit reports and would have suspended a ₹3 crore working-capital limit pending lender review.
Approach:We enabled the audit-trail feature with vendor support, certified the date of enablement, reconciled the disabled-period transactions against bank statements and counter-party confirmations under SA 505, obtained an SOC-2 control-report from the software vendor, prepared management's response to the audit qualification with remediation plan, and represented before the lender on covenant waiver supported by the statutory auditor's emphasis-of-matter rather than qualification.
Outcome:Auditor agreed to emphasis-of-matter paragraph instead of qualification; lender accepted on remediation evidence; ₹3 crore facility renewed on time; engagement SOP updated to verify audit-trail status at onboarding of every new client.
Lender complianceEngineering
Working-capital lender covenant supported by clean books and timely BRS
Issue:An engineering company's ₹6 crore cash-credit facility carried monthly stock-statement, DP-statement, and book-debt-statement covenants. The previous bookkeeper had been filing inflated stock and debtor figures to maximise drawing power. A surprise concurrent audit by the lender flagged the inflation, threatening covenant breach, drawing-power reduction, and Section 447 fraud-charge under the Companies Act 2013.
Approach:We rebuilt accurate stock, debtor and creditor ledgers from physical-stock-take, debtor-confirmations under SA 505, and supplier-ledger reconciliations; revised the prior 12 months' stock statements with explanatory cover; engaged proactively with the lender's regional credit head; offered an enhanced-covenant package with quarterly auditor-attested stock statements; and obtained the lender's acceptance of the corrected position in a documented relationship review.
Outcome:Drawing power reduced from ₹6 crore to ₹4.8 crore on corrected stock; ₹1.2 crore short-term arrangement covered through partner loans under Section 269SS-compliant banking channels; Section 447 referral averted; engagement continued with monthly lender-reporting as add-on service.
Debtors ageingWholesale
Sundry debtors aged over 180 days hid Rs 24 lakh of fictitious sales
Issue:A pharma distributor reported sundry debtors of Rs 1.18 crore in the audited balance sheet. Ageing analysis showed Rs 24 lakh outstanding for over 540 days against 7 customers, all of which had stopped trading two years ago. The receivable had been carried as good for years to inflate working-capital ratios for OD-limit renewal.
Approach:Wrote off the Rs 24 lakh as bad debt under Section 36(1)(vii) read with the Supreme Court ruling in TRF Ltd; reversed corresponding output GST under Section 34 credit-note route within the time limit available; introduced 90/180/365-day ageing review every quarter with mandatory provision policy.
Outcome:Books cleansed of stale debtors; income-tax deduction of Rs 24 lakh claimed (tax saving approx Rs 6 lakh); OD-limit application supported by clean ageing; quarterly review prevents recurrence.
Matching principleIT Services
Matching principle breach inflated profit by Rs 11.4 lakh
Issue:An IT-services LLP with annual revenue of Rs 4.6 crore was recognising milestone-billed revenue in full on raising the invoice but expensing subcontractor costs only on payment. For FY 2023-24 this overstated profit by Rs 11.4 lakh because Rs 18 lakh of subcontractor invoices were unpaid at year-end and therefore not booked.
Approach:Implemented accrual entries for all unpaid subcontractor invoices as on 31 March; introduced a month-end cut-off procedure requiring all vendor invoices received by 7th of following month to be back-dated; aligned revenue recognition with AS-9 percentage-completion for fixed-price engagements; introduced WIP schedule.
Outcome:Profit corrected to Rs 38.2 lakh from the misstated Rs 49.6 lakh; deferred tax adjustment of Rs 2.86 lakh booked; income-tax filing revised under Section 139(5) within the window; no Section 270A under-reporting exposure.
Why these MEPZ-Tambaram SEZ engagements look the way they do: Closer to MEPZ-Tambaram SEZ, the cluster of electronics, engineering, garments businesses that defines MEPZ-Tambaram SEZ's commercial fabric, which is why for MEPZ-Tambaram SEZ units balancing production cycles with monthly GST and quarterly TDS compliance.
“FilingPro took over our Tally Prime books from a mid-sized previous accountant. Within the first month they re-grouped the trial balance to Schedule III Division I, fixed three years of mis-classified leasehold improvements and reconciled GSTR-2B against our purchase register flagging ₹3.4 lakh of unmatched ITC. Audit closed without any qualification.”

“Year-end closure for FY 2024-25 was complex with the new Section 43B(h) MSME provision. FilingPro extracted Udyam-classified vendor aging from Tally, computed the 45-day cut-off and added back ₹17 lakh of unpaid balances in our tax computation. Form 3CD clause 22 was watertight.”

Common questions from MEPZ-Tambaram SEZ clients. Call 9566-068-468 for specific queries.
Section 44AB of the Income Tax Act mandates tax audit where (a) business turnover exceeds ₹1 crore — increased to ₹10 crore where aggregate cash receipts and cash payments are each ≤ 5% of total receipts/payments; (b) profession gross receipts exceed ₹50 lakh; (c) presumptive scheme assessees under Sections 44AD/44ADA who declare lower profits than presumptive rate or whose turnover exceeds presumptive limits (₹3 crore u/s 44AD if cash ≤ 5%, else ₹2 crore; ₹75 lakh u/s 44ADA if cash ≤ 5%, else ₹50 lakh). The auditor furnishes Form 3CA/3CB with Form 3CD before 30th September.
SA 315 (Revised) requires the auditor to identify and assess risks of material misstatement (RoMM) at the financial statement level and at the assertion level (existence, completeness, accuracy, valuation, presentation, classification, occurrence, cut-off and rights & obligations). The bookkeeper must support RoMM assessment by furnishing — entity-level controls documentation, IT general controls (Tally backup, audit trail under Companies Amendment Rules 2022), accounting policies under AS-1 / Ind AS 1, judgemental areas (provisions, estimates), related party register and significant transactions schedule. Audit trail edit-log in accounting software is mandatory from 1 April 2023 under Rule 3(1) Companies (Accounts) Rules 2014.
Absolutely. Most MEPZ-Tambaram SEZ clients complete the entire Bookkeeping process remotely — we collect documents on WhatsApp or email, share drafts for your approval, and file on your behalf. A visit to our Maduravoyal office is optional, never required.
Section 134 of the Companies Act 2013 requires the Board of Directors to attach a Board's Report to the financial statements covering — extract of annual return Section 92(3), number of Board meetings, Directors' Responsibility Statement Section 134(5), declaration of independence, policy on directors' appointment and remuneration, comments on auditor's qualifications, particulars of loans/investments under Section 186, AOC-2 related party transactions Section 188, state of company affairs, transfer to reserves, dividend, material changes after year-end, conservation of energy/technology absorption/forex earnings & outgo, risk management, CSR Section 135, formal annual evaluation, and annexures including secretarial audit MR-3 where applicable.
Section 188 of the Companies Act 2013 requires Board approval for related party transactions and shareholder approval for material transactions exceeding prescribed thresholds (10% of turnover for sale/purchase of goods, 10% of net worth for borrowing/lending). Form AOC-2 disclosure of arm's length determination is annexed to Board's Report under Section 134(3)(h). AS-18 / Ind AS 24 require disclosure of name of related party, relationship, transaction value, outstanding balance, write-offs and pricing basis (arm's length or otherwise). KMP, relatives of KMP, holding/subsidiary/associate companies and entities under common control are within scope.
Delays in statutory work can mean penalties, interest or blocked services that usually cost far more than acting on time. For MEPZ-Tambaram SEZ clients we track the relevant due dates and remind you in advance so Bookkeeping stays on schedule. Call 9566-068-468 if you suspect you have already missed a deadline.
Yes. Section 128(1) of the Companies Act 2013 requires every company to prepare and keep at its registered office books of account and other relevant books and papers and financial statements for every financial year giving a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company on accrual basis and double entry system. Section 128(2) read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules 2014 permits books of account to be maintained in electronic mode provided they remain accessible in India at all times, are retained completely in their original format and a back-up server is located in India.
AS-22 (Indian GAAP) and Ind AS 12 (Ind AS framework) require recognition of deferred tax on timing differences between book profit and taxable profit. Deferred Tax Liability (DTL) arises when book depreciation < tax depreciation (asset block in early years). Deferred Tax Asset (DTA) arises on items like provision for gratuity, leave encashment, brought-forward business loss / unabsorbed depreciation — recognised only to the extent of reasonable certainty of future taxable profits (AS-22) or probable future taxable profits (Ind AS 12). DTA on carried-forward losses requires virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence under AS-22.
Yes — honest advice is the whole point. If Accounting & Bookkeeping is not right for your MEPZ-Tambaram SEZ situation, or can safely wait, we will say so plainly rather than sell you something. That is why much of our work comes through referrals.
Section 16 of the CGST Act 2017 conditions ITC on (a) tax invoice / debit note, (b) receipt of goods or services, (c) tax actually paid by supplier (verified via GSTR-2B match), (d) GSTR-3B filed by recipient, (e) payment to supplier within 180 days (else reverse with interest). Section 17(5) blocks ITC on motor vehicles below 13 seats (except for sale/transport businesses), food & beverage, club & health membership, life insurance, works contract for immovable property and personal-consumption supplies. Bookkeeping practice: ITC voucher in Tally is split into eligible / ineligible at entry stage to enable monthly Table 4 reconciliation.
GSTR-2A is a dynamic, real-time auto-populated statement of inward supplies updated as suppliers file GSTR-1, GSTR-5, GSTR-6 and GSTR-7. GSTR-2B is a static monthly statement generated on the 14th — the basis for ITC eligibility under Section 16 of the CGST Act and Rule 36(4). Bookkeeping practice: every purchase ledger entry is reconciled monthly against GSTR-2B before filing GSTR-3B. Mismatches are categorised as supplier not filed, missing in books, value mismatch and rate mismatch. ITC claimed in GSTR-3B without GSTR-2B match is reversed under Section 50 with 24% interest under Rule 36(4)(b).
Our main office is at Plot No. 6, Alapakkam Main Road (opposite KVB Bank), Maduravoyal – 600095, with a branch at No. 22 Reddy Street, Nerkundram – 600107. Both are an easy reach from MEPZ-Tambaram SEZ, and a third office at Nolambur is opening shortly. Most clients, though, never need to visit.
Form 3CD is the statement of particulars under Rule 6G(2) annexed to the tax audit report. It contains 44 main clauses + sub-clauses covering: clause 13 method of accounting, clause 14 inventory valuation, clause 17 land/building transfer 50C, clause 18 depreciation Section 32, clause 19 35-deductions, clause 20 deemed profit u/s 28, clause 21 disallowance Section 36/37/40/40A/43B, clause 22 MSME 43B(h), clause 23 payments to related persons 40A(2)(b), clause 26 Section 43B, clause 30C GAAR, clause 31 Section 269SS/T, clause 34 TDS compliance, clause 36A deemed dividend, clause 44 GST-wise expenditure. Books must be closed 30 days before audit to enable clause-wise schedule preparation.
Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) under Section 9(3) of the CGST Act and Notification 13/2017-Central Tax requires the recipient to pay GST on specified supplies — GTA freight, legal services from advocates, director sitting fees, security services from non-body-corporate, sponsorship, import of services and OIDAR. Bookkeeping: on receipt of bill, Expense Dr to Vendor Cr (without GST). Separately RCM Liability: Input GST RCM Dr to RCM Output Payable Cr. RCM is paid in cash via GSTR-3B Table 3.1(d), and ITC of the same is claimed in Table 4(A)(3) in the same month (Section 16 read with Rule 36) provided self-invoice under Rule 46 is generated.
AS-17 'Segment Reporting' applies to enterprises whose securities are listed or are in process of listing, and to all enterprises with turnover > ₹50 crore. Segments are identified by business and geographical lines based on risks and returns. Ind AS 108 'Operating Segments' applies the management approach — segments are reported as they are reported internally to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). A reportable segment crosses the 10% quantitative threshold of revenue, result or assets. Disclosure includes segment revenue (external + inter-segment), segment result, segment assets, segment liabilities, depreciation and impairment.
CARO 2020 (Companies Auditor's Report Order issued under Section 143(11) of the Companies Act 2013) applies to all companies except OPC, small companies, banking companies, insurance companies and Section 8 companies meeting certain thresholds. It mandates auditor reporting on 21 clauses including (i) PPE & intangible records, (ii) inventory physical verification, (iii) loans & investments, (iv) Section 185/186 compliance, (v) deposits Section 73-76, (vii) statutory dues, (viii) undisclosed income, (ix) loan default, (xi) fraud reporting under Section 143(12), (xvi) NBFC compliance, (xvii) cash losses. Bookkeeping must produce loan schedules, FAR, statutory dues aging and stock physical verification reports.
