Sir, I have a query in regard to signing of tax audit reports. My query is "Can a partner of auditor firm sign on behalf of another partner? If yes, then will it not affect his limit to sign 45 tax audit reports as in Income tax return his name will be stated as auditor."

Hi, There is a limit of 45 audit in a year u/s. 44AB. If suppose there are 2 partners then they can sign 90 audit reports. A partners should not use the audit limit of other partner. But there is no amendment/clarification in this rule till date therefore any partner can sign upto the total limit of firm.
