09 August 2012 Because presumptive taxation (8%) is not applicable to a person earning income in the nature of commission vide section 44AD(6) (ii) of the Income tax Act,1961.

10 August 2012 Please understand that Section 44AD is NOT APPLICABLE to you.

Accordingly, even if you show receipts less than 8%, audit is NOT mandatory.

Section 44AB is applicable to you.

Under Section 44AB audit requirement is based on the total receipts and NOT on income.

Since your total receipts do not exceed Rs 60 lakhs, you are NOT required to get your accounts audited.
