For a kachha arhtia, tax-audit turnover comprises only commission earned and excludes sale proceeds of goods belonging to principals. Where the accepted commission income remains below the prescribed limit, no tax-audit obligation arises. The notes also state that a penalty for failure to obtain audit cannot apply where the Revenue's position is that no books of account were maintained, because audit presupposes existing books.
