facts :- asst. 24-25. assessee is firm. turnover 7 crore, profit only 2 lakhs. no cash receipt/payment i filed without audit but with bal sheet/prof loss stating 44ad is not applicable & 44aa (books) as applicable. strangely, just got 143(1) intimation stating
"Tax Payer has offered income under section 44AD, and the gross receipt or income under the head “Profits and gains of Business or Profession” is more than 2 Crores; however, he has not filled Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss Account and has not got the books of account audited."
probable resolution -> The taxpayer has offered gross receipt or income under the head “Profits and gains of Business or Profession” more than 3 crore. Hence, the taxpayer has to file the audit report as per section 44AB
my view--> i have not filed u/s. 44ad, i have said 44ab is not applicable. i have filed bal.sheet/prof loss. Hence, i feel intimation is grossly wrong. There is no need of audit as turnover less than 10 crore (its 7 crore), although margin is less than 6%

Though audit is not required, but check the general section properly, somewhere there must be affirmation of acceptance of presumptive assessment. If everything correct, reply denying the rectification, as sec. 44AD IT act not availed.
