Query regarding Audit on F&O Trade

In the assessment year 2023-24, my Futures and Options(F&O) total turnover is around 56 lakh, and I have realized a profit of 10,000 rupees. Given that my profit is below 6% of the turnover and my total income exceeds 15 lakh rupees, is it necessary for me to undergo an audit?

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether an audit is required for Futures and Options (F&O) trades. The user has a turnover of ₹56 lakh with a profit of ₹10,000, and their total income exceeds ₹15 lakh. The consensus is that an audit is not mandatory if the taxpayer hasn't opted for presumptive taxation under Section 44AD in the last five years, especially since this is their first year trading F&O.

No. not mandatory if not opted out of section 44AD in any of the preceding FIVE years.

This is the first time - I am dealing with F&O and I have not availed sec 44AD in the last 5 years. 

Does this means, I need to undergo an Audit ?
