Sub: Exposure Draft - 'Guidance Note on Reports on Audit under Section 12A/10(23C) of the Income-tax Act,1961' for Public Comments

In October, 2023, the Direct Taxes Committee had come out with a Technical Guide on “Reports of Audit under section 12A/10(23C) of the Income-tax Act,1961”. This year, we propose to come out with a “Guidance Note on Reports on Audit under Section 12A/10(23C) of the Income-tax Act,1961” for the benefit of the members, taking the Technical Guide as the base document. Accordingly, the Exposure Draft - ‘Guidance Note on Reports on Audit under Section 12A/10(23C) of the Income-tax Act,1961’, has been issued for public comments. The Exposure Draft can be accessed at the link https://resource.cdn.icai.org/80016dtc64148.pdf
