Applicability of section 44ab

If your turnover is less than 2 Crores and your book profit (Actual) is more than 8% then you are eligible to declare your income U/s 44AD. Because 44AD consider on deemed profit(8%) and actual profit whichever is higher In that case you are not liable for audit.

As per Finance Act 2016 40(b) is not allowable after calculation of section 44AD.
