Quick Summary
This discussion addresses whether a tax audit under Section 44AB is required when an assessee opts for presumptive income under Section 44AD. It explains that if the declared profit is less than the presumptive rate (e.g., 8%), a tax audit becomes compulsory, especially if the assessee has previously claimed presumptive income for less than five years. The content also explores alternative strategies for declaring income to potentially avoid audit penalties.

Yes as opting for presumptive taxation you have to maintain 44AD for 5 years and as profit is less than 8% of turnover then tax audit is compulsory u/s 44AB
Now suppose in last 10 year his t/o is less than 2 cr and he always get his account audited u/s 44AB then also will he require to get his account audited in CY , keeping all the case being same

As the last date is gone your penalty will be 0.5% of turnover i.e. Rs.90000 approx

Instead you declare income u/s 44AD on your cheque or online sale @ 6% and on remaining sales @ 8%.

in your case taxable income will be

1.8 crores x 95% x 6% = Rs. 1026000

1.8 crores x 5% x 8% = Rs. 72000

Total taxable               = Rs 1098000

Roughly tax will be around  Rs. 142000 + Late fees for ITR Rs. 10000

Instead if you go for tax audit only penalty will be Rs. 90000 and tax is additional.

So you decide the same as per your case.
