24 July 2012 The criteria for Tax Audit u/s 44AB is the turnover during the Previous Year, not the Profit/Loss.

So, if your turnover is exceeding the prescribed limit, then audit will be required.

25 July 2012 Going with normal provisions of the act , Turnover is the criteria for audit u/s 44AB not the result.

However in case of presumptive taxation, audit will be required only when declaring income less than the amount/% as specified under respective sections. If for declaring less than the income as specified u/s 44AD, 44AE ,audit shall be applicable. If firm following presumptive taxation, audit will become applicable as the firm declaring loss.
