Hello Friends,

Tax Audit under Sec.44AB applicable or not?

For the following

Partnership Firm Started on October 2024

Wholesale Trading Business – Business Code - 18009

FY 2024-25 Turnover – Rs.2 crores

Net Profit – Rs.4 Lakhs

Cash payments or receipts below 5% of the total transactions i.e., cash receipts do not exceed 5% of the total receipts and cash payments do not exceed 5% of the total payments.

Can I file Business Income as Ordinary by considering the

“A taxpayer is required to have a tax audit carried out if the turnover or gross receipts of business exceed Rs 1 crore in a financial year or Rs 10 crore in case cash transactions do not exceed 5% of the total transactions (i.e., Cash receipts/payments does not exceed 5% of the total receipts/total payments)”

If anyone filed ITR, without Tax Audit as above.

Kindly comment regarding this.

Thanks in advance.
