Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies filing options for partnership firms with turnovers under £25 lakh. If you're not opting for presumptive income under Section 44AD (ITR 4) due to profits below 8%, you can file using ITR 5 by submitting a Profit & Loss statement and Balance Sheet, even without a formal audit. However, be aware that if the firm previously used Section 44AD within the last five years, a tax audit under Section 44AB(e) might be mandatory.

Yes you can

Agreed to above answer, but a precautionary note::

If the firm had opted sec. 44AD in any of the  preceding 5 years, tax audit u/s. 44AB(e) will be applicable...

If a partnership firm has profit less then 8%/6% of the turnover , then either ITR is to be filled under presumptive income disclosing minimum 6%/8% profits of the the total turnover or else tax audit u/s 44AB has to be done.
