Tax audit for companies in loss

Hello all my fraternity colleagues !

I had a query that whether companies having net loss from business are required their accounts audited under section 44AB of Income Tax Act for A.Y. 2018-19? whether tax audit is mandatory for companies in loss for A.Y. 18-19?

As per sec 44AB Tax Audit limit is Rs 1Cr if it's loss or Profit.
So,
If Your above said Company's Turn Over above 1cr then Tax Audit must if it's loss or not.

I agree with the expert's view.

The tax audit u/s 44AB is determined on the basis of turnover. So if the turnover is more than 1 crore, tax audit is compulsory irrespective of profit or loss.

The tax audit u/s 44AB clearly states that it has to be determined on the basis of turnover. So whether an entity make profit or loss is irrrelevant.
