Business loss and income from interest set off balance taxable income. More than exempted income. Since business loss is adjusted interest income balance taxable income is more than 50 laks. No presumptive taxation is adopted earlier years Last year adopted 44 ad(e). Which is correct section for this tax audit. Kindly advise

Audit is NOT triggered because taxable income exceeds ₹50 lakh.
Audit section depends on:
Business turnover
Whether 44AD conditions violated
If you opted 44AD in previous year and now declaring lower than presumptive rate with income exceeding basic exemption limit, audit applies under Section 44AB(e).

Once you have submitted audit report u/s. 44AB(e); it implies you have accepted the liabilities as per sub-sec 44AD(5) IT act. It suggests that you are liable to carry out the audit under the section for next five years if the minimum profits are not declared as specified in these years. So, carry out audit u/s. 44AB(e) this year also as there is loss declaration.
