To summarise all discussions, it seems that there is no cut wording in income tax provisions if turnover doesn't exceed tax audit limit then no need to go for compulsory presumptive taxation and (Also considering points of Ankitbhai ).

1. FIRST to consider, whether the assessee opts for -to declare his income under presemptive basis (44AD), If opted,  then the minimum 8% income of the Turnover to be declared. The tax audit report is compulsory if the income shown is below 8%, only , reitrerating , only when the asesee opted to declare his income u.s.44AD.

2. Second Senario, If the assessee does not opts for u/s. 44AD( Presumptive Basis) and the T.O. is also below 1 crore, he need not gets his books audited u/s. 44AB but nevertheless since in the above case, the T.O. is above 10 Lakhs, he has to maintain the books of accounts u.s. 44AA only , no concern for the declaration of below 8%.

Partnership firm is required to undergo a tax audit if its sales, turnover, or gross receipts exceed Rs. 1 crore in a financial year. 

If a taxpayer is required to undergo a tax audit but fails to do so, the penalty can be the lower of the following:

0.5% of the total sales, turnover, or gross receipts

OR

Rs 1,50,000
