Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies income tax audit requirements for individuals who previously filed under the presumptive scheme (ITR 4, Section 44AD) and are now considering filing a normal return (ITR 3). It explains that if you voluntarily opted out of 44AD in a prior year, you may be ineligible for five years, necessitating an ITR 3. However, if your turnover is within limits and profit is below the threshold, an audit might not be required, or you could opt for the 44AD scheme with a declared 6% profit to avoid it.

Yes Tax audit is required
1.File normal return as you didn't get audit done as profit is less than 6%.File presumptive income-tax showing 6%profit and pay tax on that profit. That's the way to avoid audit.

If you had voluntarily opted out of 44ad during ay 20-21, then you cannot opt for 44ad for 5 years. Hence, ITR 3 would be appropriate and no tax audit required because the turnover is within the threshold limit.

If you had filed ITR 3 for ay 20-21 because you were not eligible for it due to exceeding threshold limit, then you may opt for 44ad for ay 21-22. Even in this case, no tax audit because the income is within the basic exemption limit (assuming no other income).
