Assessee was eligible for audit u/s 44ab but the audit was not conducted. While filing the RoI, "whether audit conducted or not", the assessee selected it as "No" but it received a notice u/s 139(9) for defective return.
As per rule 12, a return cannot be held defective for non furnishing of audit report.
What should be the response to such notice?
