As such tax audit applicable.
If 95% receipts and payments through bank tax audit not applicable.
In case of owning not more than 10 trucks and opting for 44AE tax audit not applicable.

The entire transactions are through bank but there is a difference in Sales coming as per Bank and sales as per GST return filed.
This is due to the cash system followed by the proprietor in Income tax but as per GST billing system is followed. Hence the difference of Rs. 15 lacs.
If the amount Rs. 15 lacs is added to the sales (Freight received) to match it with the GST return it will lead to income which will become more than 5% of the total income earned leading to Tax audit applicable.
Is it correct to add income in cash to match it with GST return sales. Entire Sales income is exempt from GST as it is Transport income.
Please help me in this matter.
