44 AD or 44 AB

I have a Query regarding one of my client.

In 2014-15, Turnover was 99,45,641 so dealt with 44AD .

In 2015-16, Turnover was 1,44,36,500 so Tax audit as per 44AB (1 Crore)

So 2016-17 , Turnover is 1,22,63,270

 

So my query is whether for 2016-17 Financial year whether should be filed return under Presumptive profit -44AD or Tax Audit- 44AB

Thank you,

Regards,

Ajay Miranda

For FY 2016-17, return can be filed by following presumptive taxation u/s 44AD since the turnover is less than 2 crore. However if the client wishes to pay tax on the profit less than that mentioned in section 44AD, then audit u/s 44AB will be compulsory.

But once not opted then next 5 AY you are not eligible for 44AD right? but 2016 Finance Act ammended 1 crore to 2 crore under 44AD. 

As in 2015-16, not opted as amount exceeded 1 crore is it possible now ie 2016-17 to claim under 

44AD even though ammended from 1 crore to 2 crore.
