OVERVIEW OF TDS
Tax deducted at source (TDS) is a tax that is deducted from income that a company in
India pays to a recipient or supplier if the income amount exceeds a specific statutory
limit in a financial year. The types of income that are subject to TDS include:
▪ Salary
▪ Interest and dividends. Winnings from the lottery.
▪ Insurance commission.
▪ Rent,
▪ Fees from professional and technical services. ▪ Payments to contractors and
subcontractors.
The withholding amounts for TDS can be deducted from an invoice submitted by a
supplier or from the payment that is issued to the recipient or supplier. Examples of
recipients and suppliers include contractors, providers of professional services,
employees, and real estate landlords. Companies submit a TDS certificate to each
supplier on a monthly or yearly basis. The certificate includes the payments, as well as
information about the company and supplier. 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 (R751122EQ). Form
16 is the TDS certificate which an individual submits and Form 26Q is the TDS certificate
which a company submits to the tax authorities.
TDS must also be deducted from payments issued to third parties by both corporate
and no corporate entities. The entity must deposit the amount owed for withholding at
any of the designated branches of banks that are authorized to collect taxes on behalf
of the government of India. The entity must also submit the TDS returns, which contain
Page 16
details about the payments and the challan for the tax deposited to the Income Tax
Department (ITD).
TDS RETURNS:-
TDS is a system whereby the income tax is deducted at the time of making some
payments like rent, interest, commission etc. The person making such specified
payments is responsible for deducting the TDS and paying the balance amount to the
person entitled to receive such payment. The TDS amount deducted must be deposited
to the government within the due dates specified by the person deducting TDS. While it
is commonly assumed that the TDS is applicable only on salary income, but it is also
applicable in many other cases such as:
➢ All income is taxable only at the end of the financial year, hence the government has
instituted the concept of TDS, in order to ensure:
Page 17
person, once TDS has been appropriately deducted, they need not pay any
additional tax during return filing.

Page 19
PREPARATION OF PARTNERSHIP DEED
In this, we prepare the partnership deed of different persons, in which different rules
and regulations we mentioned according to the law. A partnership deed also known as
partnership agreement, is a document that outlines in detail the rights and
responsibilities of all parties to a business operation. It has the force of law and is
designed to guide the partners in the conduct of the business. It is helpful in preventing
disputes and disagreements over the role of each partner in the business and the
benefits which are due to them. The partnership deed normally carries the name of the
business, the address of its principal place of business and a short summary of the
business the partners intend to operate. Q. How to prepare a partnership deed in
India?
When registering a partnership firm in India for startups, there are some basics that
need to be covered. Partnership and proprietorship are the two most popular forms of
business organizations in India. The reason why these two forms of organizations are so
popular is because they are relatively easy to set-up and the number of statutory
compliance requirements needing to be followed by these forms of organizations is
relatively less than the statutory compliance requirements applicable to LLP's and
companies. As such, this article focuses on the registration process for the partnership
firm.
Choose a partnership name: - The partners are free to choose any name as they desire
for their partnership firm subject to the following rules:
1. The names must not be too identical or similar to the name of another existing firm
doing similar business, so as to avoid 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 the Government, except
when the State Government signifies its consent (in writing) to the use of such words as
part of the firm name.
➤ Create a Partnership Deed:- The document in which the Respective rights and
obligations of the members of a partnership is written is called the Partnership Deed. A
Page 20
partnership deed agreement may be written or oral. However, practically an 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:
Interest on the partner's capital, partners' loan, and interest, if any, to be charged on drawings.
Salaries, commissions etc., if any, payable to partners. Method of preparing accounts and
arrangement for audit.
Division of task and responsibility, namely, the duties, powers and obligations of all the
partners.
➢ Do the partnership deed in the appropriate form: - The deed so created by the partners
should be on a stamp paper in accordance with the Indian Stamp Act. 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.
➢ Decide whether or not to register the partnership firm: - 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 the case where the partnership deed is not
registered, the partners may not be able to enjoy the benefits which a registered partnership
firm enjoys.
Page 21
Registration of a 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.
➢ Register:- The procedure for registration of a partnership firm 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:
➢ Sign the application: - The application or statement must be signed by all the
partners, or by their agents especially authorized in this behalf.
➢ Expect the registration process to proceed formally: - When the registrar is
satisfied with the points stated in the partnership. Deed , he or she shall record
an entry of the statement in a register called the Register of Firms and issue a
Certificate of Registration. The Register of Firms maintained at the office of the
Registrar contains complete and up-to-date information about each registered
firm.
➢ Be registered for tax: It should be noted that registration with the Registrar of
Firms is different from registration with the Income Taxation Department. 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
Page 22
firm is required to open a Current Account in the name of the partnership firm
and to operate all its operations through this bank accoun

Every commodity passes through different stages of production and distribution before
finally reaching the consumer. Some value is added at each stage of the production and
distribution chain: for instance, a forged metal tool is more valuable than metal, which
was itself more valuable than the ore that was originally mined. Value Added Tax (VAT)
is a tax on this value addition at each stage. Under a VAT system, a dealer collects tax
on his sales, retains the tax paid on his purchase and pays the balance to the
government. It is a consumption tax, because it is borne ultimately by the final
consumer. The tax paid by the dealer is passed on to the buyer. It is not a charge on the
dealer.
Output tax is VAT charged to the customer by a dealer making taxable sales. A dealer is
an individual, partnership, or business that is registered under VAT. Any person or
business making sales above the prescribed limit are required to register. When a
dealer is registered, VAT becomes chargeable on all taxable sales made by that dealer.
Q. What is Input Tax?
The tax a dealer pays for purchases is input tax. Many purchases will carry a VAT
charge, but when a dealer is registered under VAT, they can normally claim a credit for
VAT charges on most business purchases. Input tax includes not only the VAT on your
purchases of raw materials or on goods purchased for resale but also VAT on capital
goods, such as machinery or equipment.
Page 25
➢ VAT Computation
A dealer pays VAT by deducting the tax paid on purchases (input tax) from his tax collected on
sales (output tax).
For example: A dealer pays Rs.10.00 @ 10% on his purchase price of goods valued Rs.100.00. He
sells the goods at Rs.150.00 and collects tax amounting to Rs.15.00 (@ 10%). He will pay Rs.5.00
(Rs.15.00 Rs.10.00) as he has already paid Rs.10.00 to his seller while purchasing those goods.
Q. How is VAT different from Sale Tax? VAT has fewer rates, as opposed to the high
number of rates for Sales Tax, and allows offsets of tax on inputs against those on
outputs. VAT also does away with the tax on tax. Q. Who will be covered by VAT?
Since every state has its own VAT legislation, VAT rates, taxable base and list of taxable
goods, VAT rates will differ from state to state. As an example, here are Maharashtra's
tax rates as of June 2016:
Schedule 'C' - Declared Goods and other specified goods - 5% (Rates for items other
than declared goods changed to 5.5%) Schedule 'D' Foreign Liquor, Country Liquor,
Motor Spirits, etc.-20% and above
Schedule 'E' - All other goods (not covered by A to D) - 12.5% starting April 1, 2016. Q.
Page 26
➢ Trade
Uniform rates of VAT will boost trade; 100% self-assessment will reduce the need for taxpayers
to visit a tax department officer.
➢ Customers
Removing tax on tax reduces prices of goods that the end consumer pays.

AS-26 INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible asset is a non-physical non-monetary asset which is held for use in the production or
supply of goods and services, or for rental for others, etc.
It applies when an item meets the criteria of an Intangible asset and it is probable that
the future economic benefits will flow to the enterprise and the cost of the asset can
be measured reliably. These recognition criteria are applicable to cost of acquiring and
generating an intangible asset internally.
If an asset is acquired in a business combination, the cost of that asset should be its fair
value at the acquisition date which depends on market expectations. When the asset is
acquired free of charge or for a normal consideration, by way of government grant,
then it is recognized at a nominal value or at the acquisition cost.

OVERVIEW OF AUDITING
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.
In this area, we were done different type of work such as matches the balances of
transactions from software information with our tally voucher entries information. We
check different financial records of companies any analyze that and identify the
mistakes then give some suggestions them.
Any subject matter may be audited. Auditing is a safeguard measure since ancient
times. Audits provide third party assurance to various stakeholders that the subject
matter is free from material that the subject matter is free from material misstatement.
The term is most frequently applied to 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.
Page 34
AUDITING STANDARDS
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, but not required by law.
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
the auditor would cover.
The next important step is compiling the information from the audit. When an auditor
audits the accounts or inspects key financial statements of a company, the findings are
usually put out in a report or compiled in a systematic manner.
The last and most important element of an audit is reporting the result. The results are documented
in the auditor's report.
Page 35
AUDIT PLANNING
Audit planning includes deciding on the overall audit strategy and developing an audit plan.
Auditing Standard No. 9 from the PCAOB describes an external auditor's responsibility
and the requirements for planning an audit. According to standard No. 9, an audit plan
is expected to 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 determining the scope and objectives of the audit.
What is GST?
GST is an Indirect Tax which has replaced many Indirect Taxes in India. The Goods and
Service Tax Act was passed in the Parliament on 29th March 2017. The Act came into
effect on 1st July 2017; Goods & Services Tax Law in India is a comprehensive,
multistage, destination based tax that is levied on every value addition. In simple
words, Goods and Service Tax (GST) is an indirect tax levied on the supply of goods and
services. This law has replaced many indirect tax laws that previously existed in India.
So, before Goods and Service Tax, the pattern of tax levy was as follows:
Page 36
Under the GST regime, the tax is levied at every point of sale. In the case of intra-state
sales, Central GST and State GST are charged. Inter state sales are chargeable to
Integrated GST. Now let us try to understand the definition of Goods and Service Tax
"GST is a comprehensive, multi-stage, destination-based tax that is levied on every
value addition."
➢ Multi-stage
There are multiple change-of-hands an item goes through along its supply chain: from
manufacture to final sale to the consumer. Let us consider the following case:
Page 37
Page 38
VALUE ADDITION
The manufacturer who makes biscuits buys flour, sugar and other material. The value of
the inputs increases when the sugar and flour are mixed and baked into biscuits.
The manufacturer then sells the biscuits to the warehousing agent who packs large
quantities of biscuits and labels it. That is another addition of value after which the
warehouse sells it to the retailer.
The retailer packages the biscuits in smaller quantities and invests in the marketing of the
biscuits thus increasing its value.
GST is levied on these value additions i.e. the monetary value added at each stage to achieve
the final sale to the end customer.
➢ Destination Based
Consider goods manufactured in Maharashtra and are sold to the final consumer in
Karnataka. Since Goods & Service Tax is levied at the point of consumption. So, the
entire tax revenue will go to Karnataka and not Maharashtra.
Advantages of GST
GST has mainly removed the Cascading effect on the sale of goods and services.
Removal of cascading effect has impacted the cost of goods. Since the GST regime
eliminates the tax on tax, the cost of goods decreases. GST is also mainly
technologically driven. All activities like registration, return filing, application for refund
and response to notice needs to be done online on the GST Portal; this accelerates the
processes.
Page 39
➢ Online simpler procedure under GST
➢ Lesser compliances
➢ Defined treatment for e-commerce
➢ Increased efficiency in logistics
➢ Regulating the unorganized sector
Components of GST
There are 3 taxes applicable under this system: CGST, SGST & IGST.
OVERVIEW ON TAXATION
A tax is a mandatory financial charge or some other type of levy imposed upon a
taxpayer by a governmental organizational in order to fund various public
expenditures. A failure to pay, along with evasion of or resistance to taxation, is
punishable by law.
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)
Page 40
Purposes & Effects
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.

➢ COMMUNICATION
Good communication consists of many other different sub-skills, from suitable patterns
of body language and eye contact with the ability to write clear and accurate reports.
Accurate listening and the ability to follow instructions are especially important but are
often ignored or taken for granted. Many people simply do not pay close attention to
what others say or write and do not ask follow-up questions to check their
understanding. As a result, individuals act on their own inaccurate assumptions and
create inefficiencies and frustrations at work. Communication training will help them
overcome these challenges.
Anybody can wish for something to happen, but to accomplish anything one must plan
which surprisingly few people know how to do. Planning requires setting concrete
goals, identifying workable action steps, and making a commitment to see the plan
through.
Even setting the primary goal can be difficult when multiple issues are competing for
attention. Effective planning requires arranging problems by importance and
delegation. It is impossible to do everything at once, but if one focuses on the most
important tasks and ask for help, then can accomplish a lot.
➢ SELF-IMPROVEMENT
Life in the workplace should not enforce stagnation; there should be a constant need or
desire for improvement. Satisfaction leads to a perception of repetition, which is the
essential of a job perceived as unchallenging. Employees should improve to avoid both
the frustration of inexperience and contentment with their work.

People always have room to grow, and advance behavioral skills are always welcomed.
At the upper end, one can give your workers the tools and mindset to aim for
improvement by observing their behavior, work habits, and production.
Selfimprovement training will help provide feedback and criticisms that they can use to
benefit their next assignments. An essential part of promoting improvement is to
communicate to the employees that failure.
➢ EMPATHY
Being an empathetic individual comes naturally to some, but is less natural to others.
Behaving with empathy means more than feeling bad for someone who's sad or
sharing in someone else's joy. It means being able to step into someone else's world to
understand not just what their point of view is, but also why they have that point of
view.
Empathy is a behavioral skill that can help one not only keep their own peace of mind
but can also help one to grow in your career because empathetic people tend to put
others at ease.
➢ CONFLICT RESOLUTION
At points of imbalance and friction, the employees must be able to confront the
tension between them and resolve whatever disagreement arises. This is a twig of
communication, though it is a distinct skill that can be hard to develop due to
hesitation and the intimate nature of the workplace.
The bad habit to breed is ignoring these conflicts to the point that they grow and
spread like wild-fire, damaging relationships and the productivity of both individuals
and the team. Instead, employers should remain aware of potential conflicts and be
active in entering and facilitating these more emotional interactions, and over time,
help their workers see the bigger picture when they harbor uncertainties.

5 BEST PRACTICES OBSERVED IN THE ORGANIZATION
▪ There is no racism on the basis of any caste, creed, color or gender. Everyone is
treated same thus making it easy to co-ordinate with each other and to share
views and ideas with each other. The mentors as well as the colleagues are
always ready to sort out any problem that the interns could not resolve on their
own.
▪ Everyone is disciplined and dedicated towards their job, thus provides
motivation to do our jobs perfectly and to learn and grab as much as we can.
The perfect competitive environment always motivates us to excel in our job
responsibility and to perform better than we are performing
▪ The working environment is lenient in the organization. Neither the employees
are overburdened by the work given. Neither they nor the proprietor force
them to work for extra time. All the work/targets are completed by the
employees in the provided time frame.
▪ The employees are always energetic and ready to do work; they don't waste
their time. They always strive for excellence with effectiveness and efficiency in
their work. Even if the proprietor is not at the office they don't skip work hours.
▪ The proprietor is really good at customer handling, he is always too humble
towards the clients even though if the clients are in bad mood or tempered, he
never loses his temper and handles them greet fully. he never abuses his
employees even if they make silly mistakes, and corrects their mistakes by
smiling and sarcastically commenting on it so the employees don't feel down
and eventually improve themselves.

CHAPTER :- 4
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 other firm is giving to customer.
➢ Try to adopt new technologies that their competitors are not using.
➢ Make a network that allows its customers to negotiate with them easily.
➢ In comparison with their competitors, ANJANI RAKESH & ASSOCIATES . has an edge in
making an accurate and error free report.
➢ The local economy continues to be strong and we believe our typical clients will
continue to flourish.
➢ The company has mostly professional educated resources, which are the biggest
threat for their competitors.
➢ ANJANI RAKESH & ASSOCIATES strongly needs to improve its network firms so as to
be counted among one of the extensively know firms. The partner needs to make the
best use of their goodwill to bring more clientage and reputation to firm. They need
to offer the audit services at most economical cost with the assured quality services
to retain and expand clients.
➢ The infrastructure and working condition reviews can improve the working efficiency
of the trainees. Audit and Assurance is the tough job. Some motivational meetings
Page 46
and mentoring exercises would bring good feel among employees for their work.
Time to time financial bonuses or performance incentives will energize the staff.
