May be Yes....

Asseessee means....?

1. Sec 44AD talks about presumptive taxation. It is available only to the eligible assessee. Make sure in your case the assessee is an eligible assessee. 
2. Sec 44AD is not applicable by default. It is an option available to the assessee. Eligible assessee having a T.O of less than Rs. 2 crores during the year can opt for this section and pay tax at 8% or 6%. 
3. If the T.O is less than Rs. 1 crore then audit u/s 44AB will not be applicable. Criteria for determining the audit u/s 44AB is T.O and not profit or loss. 
4. In your case, if the assessee is carrying on business tax audit u/s 44AB will not be applicable as his T.O is less than Rs. 1 crore. Make sure he is not covered u/s 44AD(4). 
Please correct me if the above solution has an alternative view. 

@ Jitendra Singh

He can surely file normal return that is ITR 3

The last for non-audit cases filing date was 31-8-2019. I hope you must have filed return.

if not filed then you lose the right to carry forward business loss

Sir kindly explain 44 AD(4)

@ Jitendra Singh
44AD (4)

“(4) Where an eligible assessee declares profit for any previous year in accordance with the provisions of this section and he declares profit for any of the five assessment years relevant to the previous year succeeding such previous year not in accordance with the provisions of sub-section (1), he shall not be eligible to claim the benefit of the provisions of this section for five assessment years subsequent to the assessment year relevant to the previous year in which the profit has not been declared in accordance with the provisions of sub-section (1).

Sir i requested you to explain not write
