21 June 2010 As per Section 44AB, every person carrying on business or profession shall gets its accounts audited if his turnover exceeds the specified limit.

In my view the RWA does not carry on any business or profession. It is a mutual association created for the benefits of members. It takes contribution from members and utilises for the common facilities. Hence, in our view, there is no requirement of Tax audit in the referred cases.
