Applicability of tax audit

Hi,
I have a doubt that if i show profit less than 8 percent of sales and my sales are say Rs.90,00,000.00, do i need to get my books of accounts audited.

Note : If i choose to file ITR - 3 or ITR - 5

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies when a tax audit is necessary, particularly concerning profit margins below 8% of sales. While generally not required if turnover is under £1 crore, specific circumstances like choosing ITR-3 or ITR-5 filing may necessitate an audit. If sales are realised through bank accounts, a lower profit percentage might be acceptable, but an audit is often required to support this.

Your accounts book has to be audited under any circumstances...
If your realization is through bank accounts, then you can show 6% also. But to show lower %, you have to get it audited.

NO, you dont have to get your accounts audited if turnover is less than 1 crore. 

If your entity is a firm or llp then you have to file ITR 5 , otherwise if it is a sole proprietorship then ITR 3
