Whether for purpose of attracting section 44AB, receipts of an Assessee by way of sale or trading business and receipts for doing job work can be clubbed for purpose of finding out whether limit of Rs. 40 lakhs prescribed for attracting provisions of section 44AB.

Rs. 40 lakh limit is applicable for Sections 44AD & 44 AF.
According to 44AB, If any business not under cover of Section 44AD & 44AF then that business has to maintain Books of Accounts according to Sec 44AB.
44AB says that:
1) If there is exceeded Profit of Rs. 1,20,000 in Previous 3 year immediately preceeding of Relevent Previous Year, or
3) Total turnover exceeded of Rs. 10,00,000 in previous 3 years immediately preceeding the relevent previous year.
Then Company need to maintain Books of Accounts.
TURNOVER means total sales from that business.

I am of the different view then as express by above expert.
if total purchase during a F.Y. exceeds Rs. 40 lacs but total sales is below Rs. 40 lacs, then also section 44AB is applicable and books are required to be audited.

Dear Sandeep and all
Please go through The Bombay Bench of ITAT in case of Vijay N. Maheswari HUF, Bombay v ACIT (ITA No. 515/Bom/91 and 1725/BOM/91 dt. 29.9.1994) in which it has held that if purchase exceeds Rs. 40 lakhs, the same would constitute turnover and tax ausit would be applicable.
