1. Audit limit for AY 12-13 is Rs. 60 lakhs and not Rs. 1 crore. 2. If all the firms are proprietorship firms, then the total turnover (turnover of all the firms taken together) shall be considered for the applicability of audit. 3. Section 44AD provides that the assessee has to show income @ 8% of the total turnover. In case the assessee claims profits lower than 8% AND his total income exceeds the exemption limit, he is required to get his accounts audited.
