In the first palce how was the tax audit completed before completion of books of accounts. i. e. how did he issue the tax audit report. The tax audit report is given after the financial statements are completed and on that basis he can give the report. The return can be revised u/s 139(5)and the due date of filing revised return will be at any time before the expiry of one year from the end of the relevant assessment year or before the completion of the assessment, whichever is earlier. You will have to explain to the Income Tax Officer as to wat lead to the change in the books of accounts.
