17 March 2014 not exactly...the profit under 44AD (8%) is computed before providing for the salary. Once the profit is computed, then the limits prescribed under section 40.

so as long as you are covered under 44AD and you are offering profit, before providing for salaries and interest, at 8%, it should not attract audit. please refer proviso to Section 44AD(2)
