Sir in your case F.Y is 2012-13 and for above period Tax audit limits u/s.44AB are 60Lakhs for business and 15Lakhs for profession. In your case, gross receipts from sub contract business are above 60Lakhs and not eligible for 44AD and required to comply with provisions u/s.44AB. So you are liable to undergo tax audit u/s.44AB. Hence you receive notice u/s.271B for non compliance of provisions of sec.44AB.
