This discussion clarifies tax audit requirements for proprietorships, particularly concerning turnover thresholds and the presumptive taxation scheme (Section 44AD). It addresses whether a tax audit is mandatory in the second year if turnover drops significantly, and explores the implications of exceeding the 44AD turnover limit on future eligibility for the scheme.
No, in cases where the turnover has crossed the threshold, the assessee is not eligible for 44AD. In other words, the assessee here has not opted out but is ineligible. So I think you can opt for 44AD again.
