Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether a tax audit is compulsory when filing an income tax return under Section 148, especially with gross receipts of £1.5 crore and book profits below 6%. While technically required for non-filers, practical experience suggests it might not always be enforced. It's advisable to consult your Assessing Officer (AO) for clarification, as no definitive case law was provided.

If you have already filed report previously in the assessment year then NO.

if you were non filer and are filing return only against 148 then technically you need to file audit report.
but i have seen people not filing audit report and never getting getting any defective notice or penalty notice for not filing audit report.

hence you may ask your AO about this.
Can u provide any case laws to support it
I am not aware of any decided matter.
i have given you from own experience and interpretation of the act
