As per finance act 2016, the amendment in the sec. 44AD is effective from AY. 2017-18... which is as follows...

26. In section 44AD of the Income-tax Act, with effect from the 1st day of April, 2017,—

(a)   in sub-section (2), the proviso shall be omitted;
(b)   for sub-sections (4) and (5), the following sub-sections shall be substituted, namely:—
    "(4) Where an eligible assessee declares profit for any previous year in accordance with the provisions of this section and he declares profit for any of the five assessment years relevant to the previous year succeeding such previous year not in accordance with the provisions of sub-section (1), he shall not be eligible to claim the benefit of the provisions of this section for five assessment years subsequent to the assessment year relevant to the previous year in which the profit has not been declared in accordance with the provisions of sub-section (1).
    (5) Notwithstanding anything contained in the foregoing provisions of this section, an eligible assessee to whom the provisions of sub-section (4) are applicable and whose total income exceeds the maximum amount which is not chargeable to income-tax, shall be required to keep and maintain such books of account and other documents as required under sub-section (2) of section 44AA and get them audited and furnish a report of such audit as required under section 44AB.";
(c)   in the Explanation, in clause (b), in sub-clause (ii), for the words "one crore rupees" occurring at the end, the words "two crore rupees" shall be substituted.

 

Now your query is based on two different section 44AD & 44AB.... so just be clear .. as there is no specific requirement of tax audit to claim remuneration; but only if opted out of sec. 44AD before continuation of 5 years...
