F.y 20-21 audit limit

Quick Summary
If you're a retail trader with a turnover of 90 lakh and declaring a profit of 5%, you generally need to get your accounts audited. While the general turnover limit for audits is 1 crore, Section 44AD of the Income Tax Act requires an audit if your declared profit is less than 6% (for banking transactions) or 8% (for cash transactions) of your turnover. To avoid an audit, you can declare a profit of at least 6% or 8% respectively, or file under ITR-4. If you haven't opted for Section 44AD in previous years and maintain proper books of accounts, you might be able to file under ITR-3 without an audit.

Mr. Arvind if you show minimum 8% profit, you can avoid tax audit
Audit is complusory for you

In case you do not opt for showing income u/s 44AD, then tax audit is not compulsory for you but is suggested to get tax audit done. And in case you had opted to income disclosure u/s 44AD, then tax audit is compulsory.

Audit under section 44AD is compulsory in your case as the NP is less than 6%. If you offer anything less than 6% and file return, immediately you get defective return notice under 139(9) for not attaching audit report as lesser income is offered.

As your income is less than 6%or 8% then audit required in your case
