A Turnover Certificate is a formal document issued by a practising Chartered Accountant (CA) on his / her letterhead, certifying the turnover (revenue from operations / sales) of a business for a specified period — typically the last 1, 3, or 5 financial years, or a custom period required by the requesting authority. It is one of the most frequently asked CA certificates in India, used as a primary financial-eligibility filter by tender authorities, banks, regulators, and government schemes.
Turnover is computed in line with Schedule III of the Companies Act 2013, applicable Ind-AS / AS for revenue recognition, and reconciled with GST returns (GSTR-1 / 3B / 9), 26AS / AIS, and audited financial statements. The certificate must carry a UDIN generated on the ICAI portal — only then is it accepted by tender portals (GeM, CPPP), banks (SBI / HDFC / ICICI), and regulators (RBI / SEBI / DGFT). Our CA-certified Turnover Certificate services cover same-day to 3-day delivery for all entity types — proprietorships, partnerships, LLPs, private and public companies — for tender, loan, MSME, GST, subsidy, and diligence purposes.
