## 🗓️ All resource guides (60+ pages)

Deep, source-cited guides on specific compliance topics — thresholds, deadlines, reconciliation mechanics, standards changes. Formerly listed in /llms.txt; moved here so the primary index stays tight. A few interactive tools that don't fit the calculator hub's numeric-input pattern (checkers, finders, mappers) are grouped here rather than in the calculators section above. Working-file downloads use CORAA standard resource forms; explanatory content remains open for auditors, search crawlers and AI answer engines.

- [TDS from Form 26AS to Form 140: What Changes in Tax Year 2026-27](https://coraa.ai/blog/tds-form-26as-to-form-140-tax-year-2026-27) — A CA-firm guide to the old 26Q to new Form 140 transition, Sec 393 mapping, Form 26AS/AIS reconciliation and the year boundary for corrections.

- [TDS Verification in FY 2026-27: What to Automate After the Section Renumbering](https://coraa.ai/blog/tds-verification-automation-income-tax-act-2025) — The first audit year under the Income-tax Act 2025 means TDS data carries two numbering schemes at once — old 194-series labels in the books, new Sec 393 payment codes in TRACES. The three-way reconciliation, what breaks, and what should be computed rather than eyeballed.
- [Advance Tax and the 234B/234C Interest Traps](https://coraa.ai/blog/advance-tax-234b-234c-interest-traps) — 234C penalises missing the quarterly instalment schedule even if you pay in full by year-end. 234B penalises falling short of 90% by 31 March even if every instalment was on time. They test different things, run on different clocks, and can both bite the same taxpayer independently.
- [Angel Tax Is Dead — What CAs Still Need to Check for Legacy Assessments](https://coraa.ai/blog/angel-tax-abolished-what-cas-still-need-to-check) — Section 56(2)(viib) was abolished for every share issuance from 1 April 2025. But the provision was in force for over a decade, and open assessments for AY 2013-14 through AY 2025-26 still need the old Rule 11UA safe-harbour and DPIIT exemption tests applied correctly.
- [F&O Turnover for Tax Audit: The 8th vs 10th Edition ICAI Method, Explained](https://coraa.ai/blog/fo-turnover-8th-vs-10th-edition-icai-method) — The 2025 ICAI Guidance Note reinstated option premium into the F&O turnover formula — reversing what the 8th edition had removed for AY 2022-23 onward. Using the older formula today understates turnover, and can wrongly clear a client of a tax audit that's actually required.
- [GST and TDS Late Fee & Interest, Side by Side](https://coraa.ai/blog/gst-and-tds-late-fee-interest-side-by-side) — Both regimes charge interest and a per-day late fee, but the mechanics don't match. GST interest runs on the cash-ledger tax only; TDS runs two separate interest meters — one for late deduction, one for late deposit — on month-or-part, not per-day.
- [Leave Encashment Tax Exemption: The ₹25 Lakh Lifetime Cap, Explained](https://coraa.ai/blog/leave-encashment-25-lakh-lifetime-cap-explained) — Section 10(10AA) exempts leave encashment on the least of four separate legs — and the ₹25 lakh limit is a lifetime cap across every employer a person has ever worked for, not a per-employer or per-encashment allowance.
- [Partner Remuneration Under Sec 40(b): The Slab Test, Plus the Two Companions Every Firm Audit Checks](https://coraa.ai/blog/partner-remuneration-section-40b-slab-test) — Section 40(b) caps working-partner remuneration on a two-slab book-profit test, revised by the Finance Act 2024. But the remuneration limit is only one of three checks — partner interest has its own 12% cap, and Section 194T adds a new TDS obligation firms often miss.
- [Section 44AA: Which Books Must You Actually Maintain?](https://coraa.ai/blog/section-44aa-which-books-must-you-actually-maintain) — Specified professions test against one flat ₹1.5 lakh threshold. Everyone else tests income and turnover separately, with different limits for individuals/HUFs versus firms and companies. Below the line isn't full exemption either way.
- [Stamp Duty Safe Harbour: The 10% Band Under Sec 43CA, 50C, and 56(2)(x)](https://coraa.ai/blog/stamp-duty-safe-harbour-43ca-50c-56-2-x) — When a property's sale consideration is below the stamp duty value, three separate sections can bite — the seller under 43CA or 50C, the buyer under 56(2)(x). Since Finance Act 2020, all three share one harmonised 10% tolerance test.
- [TCS Rates for FY 2026-27: Quick Reference, and Two Provisions That No Longer Exist](https://coraa.ai/blog/tcs-rates-fy-2026-27-quick-reference) — TCS moved to Section 394 of the Income Tax Act 2025, and two once-common provisions — 206C(1H) on goods above ₹50 lakh, and 206CCA's higher rate for non-filers — were both omitted from 1 April 2025. Applying either today is applying a repealed rule.
- [Bank Reconciliation Automation for SAP: Daily Matching, Not Monthly Catch-Up](https://coraa.ai/blog/bank-reconciliation-automation-sap-daily-matching) — Bank reconciliation automation for an SAP finance function is a daily statement pull matched against the GL — deterministic first, AI fuzzy matching for narration-heavy entries — instead of a manual monthly catch-up across every account.
- [TDS/Form 26AS Reconciliation Automation for SAP: Matching Without Manual Downloads](https://coraa.ai/blog/tds-26as-reconciliation-automation-sap) — TDS/26AS reconciliation automation is a scheduled pipeline that pulls Form 26AS from TRACES and matches it to the SAP customer ledger by PAN, TAN, and Challan — without a manual login or download. Here's the architecture, and what to check before buying an 'AI matching' tool.
- [Vendor Reconciliation Automation: Matching AP Statements at Invoice Level](https://coraa.ai/blog/vendor-reconciliation-automation-invoice-matching) — Vendor reconciliation automation ingests vendor statements automatically and matches them against the SAP AP sub-ledger at invoice level, classifying advances and disputes instead of leaving them for a manual monthly close-out.
- [MSME Payables in a Statutory Audit: Sec 15, Sec 16, and 43B(h) Are Three Different Tests](https://coraa.ai/blog/msme-payables-audit-section-15-16-43bh-three-tests) — Firms routinely conflate the MSMED Act's Section 15 payment timeline, its Section 16 interest provision, and Income-tax Section 43B(h) as one MSME check. They test three different things, feed three different disclosures, and need to be run together, not piecemeal.
- [Why Credit and Debit Notes Break Invoice-Grain GST Reconciliation](https://coraa.ai/blog/credit-debit-notes-gst-reconciliation-document-grain-matching) — Netting credit and debit notes into the parent invoice makes GST reconciliation look tidy and lets real mismatches hide. Document-grain matching — treating every CN/DN as its own line against GSTR-1 and 2A/2B — is the fix. Here's the mechanics.
- [GST Reverse Charge: Why a Books-Only Reconciliation Can't Catch What Was Never Flagged](https://coraa.ai/blog/gst-rcm-books-only-recon-vs-portal-side-check) — Books-only RCM checks can only re-verify what's already tagged reverse charge in the ledgers. A portal-side cross-check against GSTR-3B 3.1(d) and the 2A/2B reverse-charge register catches what a books-only recon structurally cannot.
- [Form 3CD in an Afternoon: All 44 Clauses, JSON-Ready for the Portal](https://coraa.ai/blog/form-3cd-afternoon-44-clauses-json-portal-ready) — Form 3CD's 44 clauses span factual disclosures, computational tables, and genuine judgement calls that shouldn't be automated. Here's how to tell them apart — and what actually gets drafted for you versus what still needs your sign-off.
- [TDS the Auditor's Way: Catching the Deduction That Never Happened](https://coraa.ai/blog/tds-auditors-way-catching-deduction-that-never-happened) — TDS reconciliation usually means matching what was deducted to Form 26AS. The harder, more valuable question is what should have been deducted but wasn't — here's how that gets caught before it becomes a disallowance.
- [AI Tools for GST Reconciliation: An Honest Comparison [2026]](https://coraa.ai/blog/ai-tools-gst-reconciliation-honest-comparison) — An honest comparison of AI and automation options for GST reconciliation in Indian CA firms — matching logic, timing differences, audit trail, and real ₹ cost.
