Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the applicability of the 5 Crore and 10 Crore tax audit limits for taxpayers under Section 44AD. It explains that the presumptive taxation turnover limit is typically 2 Crores. If your turnover exceeds 2 Crores, you are generally not eligible for presumptive taxation, and normal tax provisions apply, potentially triggering a tax audit even if cash transactions are below 5%.

Under section 44AD, presumptive taxation turnover limit is 2 crores rupees
If we restrict our payments and receipts to 5% then also limit is 2 crore or it is 5 crore?
Under section 44AD, if you show Profit less than 8% of turnover then tax audit is mandatory otherwise if you show profit above 8% of turnover then tax audit is not applicable irrespective of 5% payment and receipts. As, for entites not opting for presumptive taxation under section 44AD for them 5% cash payments and receipts are applicable.
If i show profit above 6%/8% and turnover is above 2 crore then also audit applicable?
Yes , audit is applicable
Yes as turnover exceeds 2 crores rupees means you are not eligible for presumptive taxation and Normal tax provisions will apply then tax audit is applicable as turnover exceeds 1 crores rupees
