Tax audit

file normally as Ur turnover is within the ceiling of 1 crore as specified under 44AB

you can file ur return by taking deemed profit 6% OR 8% u/s 44AD.
but if you wish to declare profit @ 5.50% then u have to file audit u/s 44ab(e)

#Radhika ajmera my opinioi 44AB(e) has been removed so that if I declare profit below 6% or 8% not required audit....

just check 44AB there is no clause as such like if you offer below the rate ,,then tax audit to be done like that.

Absultly right there is no any clause regarding Below profit decalare so u will get audit
