Companies must also submit an annual return to the government for each recipient or supplier
for the financial year. TDS certificate can be either Form 16 (R75110A) or Form 26Q-P2P-IND

Prevention of tax evasion: This mechanism ensures that the government collects a portion of
the income itself, chances of hiding income or tax defaults are minimized significantly. Timely
collection of tax.
Ease in filing tax returns: As the tax is automatically collected and deposited with the
concerned authorities by the deductor, it becomes easier for individuals to file their returns. If
there are no other sources of income for a person, once TDS has been appropriately deducted,
they need not pay any additional tax during return filing.

OVERVIEW OF VOUCHING
Vouching is a technical term that refers to the inspection of documentary evidence supporting
Vouching is the practice followed in an audit, with the objective of establishing the authenticity
of the transactions recorded in the primary books of account. It essentially consists of verifying a
transaction recorded in the books of account with the relevant documentary evidence and the
authority on the basis of which the entry has been made; also confirming that the amount
mentioned in the voucher has been posted to an appropriate account which would disclose the
nature of the transaction on its inclusion in the final statements of account. Vouching does not
include valuation.
Vouching can be described as the essence or backbone of auditing. The success of an audit
depends on the thoroughness with which vouching is done. After entering in all vouchers, only
then can auditing start. Vouching is defined as the "verification of entries in the books of account
by examination of documentary evidence or vouchers, such as invoices, debit and credit notes,
The object of vouching is to establish that the transactions recorded in the books of accounts are
In order and have been properly authorized . are correctly recorded. “Simple routine checking
In routine checking, entries recorded in the books only show what information
the bookkeeper chooses to disclose, however these entries can be fictitious without any vouching
or vouchers. By using a vouching or a voucher system a company will have concrete and solid

The Partnership Deed created by the partners should be on a stamp paper in accordance with
the Indian Stamp Act and each partner should have a copy of the partnership deed. A Copy
of the Partnership Deed should also be filed with the Registrar of Firms in case the firm is
being registered.Partnership and Proprietorship are the 2 most popular forms of business
organisations in India. The reason why these 2 forms of organisations are so popular is
because they are relatively easy to set-up and the no. of statutory compliance required to be
done by these forms of organisations is relatively less than the statutory compliance
applicable to LLP’s and Companies.
1. The names must not be too identical or similar to the name of another existing firm doing
similar business so as to lead to confusion. The reason for this rule being that the
reputation or goodwill of a firm may be injured, if a new firm could adopt an allied name.
2. The name must not contain words like Crown, Emperor, Empress, Empire or words
expressing or implying the sanction, approval or patronage of Govt except when the State
Govt signifies its consent in writing to the use of such words as part of the firm name
[Section 58(3)]
The document in which the respective rights and obligations of the members of a partnership
is written is called the Partnership Deed.
A partnership deed agreement may be written or oral. However, practically oral agreement
does not have any value for tax purposes and therefore the partnership agreement should
be written. The following are the essential characteristics of a partnership deed:-
The above are the minimum essentials which are required in all partnership deeds. The
partners may also mention any additional clauses. Some of the examples of additional
clauses which may be mentioned in the partnership deed are mentioned below:-
Interest on Partner’s Capital, Partners’ Loan, and Interest, if any, to be charged on drawings.
Division of task and responsibility i.e. the duties, powers and obligations of all the partners.
Partnerships in India are governed by the Indian Partnership Act, 1932. As per the
Partnership Act, Registration of Partnership Firms is optional and is entirely at the
discretion of the partners. The Partners may or may not register their Partnership Agreement.
However, in case the partnership deed is not registered, they may not be able to enjoy the
benefits which a registered partnership firm enjoys.
Registration of Partnership Firm may be done before starting the business or anytime during
the continuance of partnership. However, where the firm intends to file a case in the court to
enforce rights arising from the contract, the registration should be done before filing the case.
The procedure for Registration of Partnership Firms in India is fairly simple. An application
and the prescribed fees are required to be submitted to the Registrar of Firms of the State in
which the firm is situated. The following documents are also required to be submitted along
with the application:-
The application or statement must be signed by all the partners, or by their agents especially
authorised in this behalf. When the registrar is satisfied with the points stated in the
partnership deed, he shall record an entry of the statement in a register called the Regist er of
Firms and issue a Certificate of Registration (Sec 59).
The Register of Firms maintained at the office of the Registrar contains comp lete and up-to-
date information about each registered firm. This Register of Firms is open to inspection by
any person on payment of the prescribed fees (Sec 66).
Any person interested in viewing the details of any firm can request the Registrar of Firms
for the same and on payment of the prescribed fees, a copy of all details of with Firm
registered with the Registrar would be given to the applicant
It should however be noted that registration with the Registrar of Firms is different from
Registration with the Income Tax Deptt. It is mandatory for all firms to apply for
Registration with the Income Tax Department and have a PAN Card.
After obtaining a PAN Card, the Partnership Firm would be required to open a Current
Account in the name of the Partnership Firm and operate all its operations through this Bank
Account.

An auditor is someone who prepares and examines financial records. They ensure that financial
records are accurate and that taxes are paid properly and on time. They assess financial
operations and work to help ensure that an organization runs efficiently.

a legal person. Other areas which are commonly audited include: secretarial and compliance
audit, internal controls, quality management, project management, water management and
energy conversion.
AUDITING STANDARS
The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) maintains external auditing
standards for public companies (issuers) registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC).
As of 2012, PCAOB has 15 permanent standards approved by the SEC and a number of interim
standards that reflect generally accepted auditing standards, as described in standards issued by
the Auditing Standards Board (ASB), which is part of the American Institute of CPAS (AICPA).
The ASB also issues Statements on Auditing Standards (SASS) that apply to preparing and
releasing audit reports for non-issuers (companies not required to register with the SEC). AICPA
members who audit a non-issuer are required by the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct to
comply with these standards. As of 2012, there are more than 60 active standards.
For internal auditing, the Institute of Internal Auditors provides a conceptual framework called
the International Professional Practices Framework (IPPF) that provides guidance for internal
audits. Some of the guidance is mandatory, while others are considered strongly recommended,
There are four main steps in the auditing process. The first one is to define the auditor's role and
the terms of engagement which is usually in the form of a letter which is duly signed by the
client.
The second step is to plan the audit which would include details of deadlines and the departments

describe the planned nature, extent, and timing of the procedures for risk assessment and the tests
to be done on the controls and substantive procedures, along with a description of other audit
procedures planned to ensure the audit meets PCAOB standards. For internal auditing, the
Institute of Internal Auditors provides guidance for audit planning. Planning starts with

Goods and Services Tax (GST) is an indirect tax (or consumption tax) used in India on the
comprehensive because it has subsumed almost all the indirect taxes except a few state taxes.
Multi-staged as it is, the GST is imposed at every step in the production process, but is meant to
be refunded to all parties in the various stages of production other than the final consumer and as
a destination-based tax, it is collected from point of consumption and not point of origin like
previous taxes.
Goods and services are divided into five different tax slabs for collection of tax: 0%, 5%, 12%,
18% and 28%. However, petroleum products, alcoholic drinks, and electricity are not taxed
under GST and instead are taxed separately by the individual state governments, as per the
previous tax system.There is a special rate of 0.25% on rough precious and semi-precious stones
and 3% on gold. In addition a cess of 22% or other rates on top of 28% GST applies on few items
like aerated drinks, luxury cars and tobacco products. Pre-GST, the statutory tax rate for most
goods was about 26.5%, Post-GST, most goods are expected to be in the 18% tax range.
The tax came into effect from 1 July 2017 through the implementation of the One Hundred and
First Amendment of the Constitution of India by the Indian government. The GST replaced
The tax rates, rules and regulations are governed by the GST Council which consists of the
finance ministers of the central government and all the states. The GST is meant to replace a
slew of indirect taxes with a federated tax and is therefore expected to reshape the country's $2.4
trillion economy, but its implementation has received criticism. Positive outcomes of the GST
includes the travel time in interstate movement, which dropped by 20%, because of disbanding
institutions/industries, sections of Indian media and opposition political parties in India. World
Bank's 2018 version of India Development Update described India's version of GST as too
complex, noticing various flaws compared to GST systems prevalent in other countries; most
significantly, the second-highest tax rate among a sample of 115 countries at 28%.
GST's implementation in India has been further criticized by Indian businessmen for problems
including tax refund delays and too much documentation and administrative effort
needed. According to a partner at PwC India, when the first GST returns were filed in August
The opposition Indian National Congress has consistently been among the most vocal opponents
of GST implementation in India with party President, and leader of the opposition, Rahul
Gandhi, slamming BJP for allegedly "destroying small businessmen and industries" in the
country. He went on to pejoratively dub GST as "Gabbar Singh Tax" after an ill-famed, fictional
the pockets of the poor", Rahul has called it as a "big failure’ while declaring that if the Congress
party is elected to power, it will implement a single slab GST instead of different slabs. In the
run-up to the elections in various states of India, Rahul has intensified his "Gabbar Singh"
In this we learned about the Direct & Indirect taxes. We filled most of the income tax returns of
different clients.
In this we learned about different heads of income, calculation of taxes & different deduction
with sections. As well in Indirect taxes we file returns of GST in which different forms are
involved for Regular scheme & Composition scheme. For regular scheme we filled GSTR-1 &
GSTR-3B (online) and for composition scheme we filled GSTR-4 (offline)
The levying of taxes aims to raise revenue to fund governing and to alter prices in order to affect
demand. States and their functional equivalents throughout history have used money provided by
taxation to carry out many functions. Some of these include expenditures on economic
infrastructure, military, scientific research, culture and the arts, public works, distribution, data
collection and dissemination, public insurance, and the operation of government itself. A
government's ability to raise taxes is called its fiscal capacity.
Types of Taxes
Taxes are of two distinct types, Direct and Indirect taxes. The difference comes in the way these
taxes are implemented. Some are paid directly by you, such as the dreaded income tax, wealth
tax, corporate tax etc. while others are indirect taxes, such as GST.

What is Tax ?
A tax is a compulsory financial charge or some other type of levy imposed on a taxpayer

fund government spending and various public expenditures. A failure to pay, along with
evasion of or resistance to taxation, is punishable by law. Taxes consist
of direct or indirect taxes and may be paid in money or as its labour equivalent. The first
known taxation took place in Ancient Egypt around 3000–2800 BC.
Most countries have a tax system in place, in order to pay for public, common, or agreed
national needs and for the functions of government. Some levy a flat percentage rate of
taxation on personal annual income, but most scale taxes are progressive based on
brackets of annual income amounts. Most countries charge a tax on an
individual's income as well as on corporate income. Countries or subunits often also
impose wealth taxes, inheritance taxes, estate taxes, gift taxes, property taxes, sales
taxes, use taxes, payroll taxes, duties and/or tariffs.

SUGGESTIONS
Though the organization is really good at everything and everything is well maintained and
managed. But still there are some chances of improvement whether it is a human being or any
organization till there are improvements and chances to develop and grow, the organization must
improve itself at its best. In my opinion some of the suggestion/recommendations are:
They have good opportunity to introduce the ISO standards training program which no
Try to adopt new technologies that their competitors are not using.
Make a network that allows its customers to negotiate with them easily.
The firm, to be more competitive in future, still has room for improvement in Information
Technology. As firm don't have any of its website to attract customer and their timely
feedback as most of the good firms have their own web and well organized.
Firm also lacks. in marketing perspective as it does not any marketer to market and
introduce their business, firm is getting business only on personal relations of the partners
and other firm personnel. So if firm wants to improve its business volume it needs a
professional marketer as many other big firms adopted and have complete marketing
department.
The employees are provided less salary than the government has asked to provide in
minimum wage act, therefore the employees must be provided at least the minimum
salary.
