Quick Summary
If you're an individual professional with an income of Rs 20 lakh and maintain your books of accounts, you might need an income tax audit. The applicability depends on whether your gross receipts exceed Rs 25 lakh under Section 44AB. If you file a normal return and your declared profit is less than 50% of your gross receipts, an audit is likely compulsory.

As u say 20 lacs is gross income or net income ? clarify ? because Under the existing provisions of section 44AB of the Act every person carrying on a profession is required to get his accounts audited if the total gross receipts in a previous year exceed twenty five lakh rupees.

Doesn't matter if it's gross or nett, it's still below 50.

But to answer the original question then yes, if you are filing under 44ADA and offer less than 50% of your income as profit then you will need to be audited.

Of i file normal return then audit is compulsory
