30 December 2011 Now a days, since Tax Audit report details are to be given in ITR, you are not required to file report seperately.

But if you are filing ITR after due date, or not filing itr at all and you are required to gets your accounts audited,

You might have to pay 1/2% of net turnover upto maximum of Rs. 1 Lacs if you are not having any suffient reason for delay.
