This discussion addresses whether a tax audit under Section 44AB is applicable to a new partnership firm with a turnover of Rs. 40,000 and a significant loss of Rs. 20 Lakhs. While Section 44AD might not apply due to the loss, the wording of Section 44AB regarding total income exceeding the non-chargeable threshold also suggests no audit is mandatory. The query explores options for carrying forward the loss, including filing a condonation application under Section 119(2)(b).

Sir, Thank for reply Section 44ad is not applicable because Profit is less than 8%/6% Section 44AB is not applicable because of wordings "and whose total income exceeds the maximum amount which is not chargeable to income-tax"
