Audit u/s 44ab or 44ad

My Gross Receipts from Business for PY 17-18 is Rs 1.05 Crores

However I have a Business Loss of Rs 4 Lacs and my GTI is below 2 Lacs

1. Do I need to get audited u/s 44AB as my gross receipts exceed 1 Crore

2. Do I need to get audited u/s 44AD because Profit is less than 8%

3. I have also read somewhere that these sections apply only is income exceeds the maximum amount which is not chargeable to income-tax in any previous year. So in such case am I exempted from audit from both these sections?

As per sec 44AD (Eligible Assessee and Business) Taxpayer can file upto 2cr. But, Profit will shown 8 percentage.

As per Your query You can't avail sec 44AD. So, Only option is sec 44AB.
