WHETHER ACCOUNTS NEED TO BE AUDITED OR NOT TOTALLY DEPENDS ON WHETHER YOU TREAT THE SHARE TRADING ACTIVITY AS BUSINESS ACTIVITY OR INVESTMENT ACTIVITY. IF YOU TREAT IT AS A BUSINESS ACTIVITY THEN YOUR ACCOUNTS SHOULD BE AUDITED SINCE IF IT CROSSES THE LIMIT OF 60 LACS OF TURNOVER. OTHERWISE YOUR ACCOUNTS ARE NOT SUBJECTED TO AUDIT. REGARDS
