As per Section 44AD(5) an assessee who claims profit less than 8% and whose income EXCEEDS THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT NOT CHARGEABLE to tax is required to get his accounts audited.
In case of loss, the income DOES NOT exceed the maximum amount not chargeable to tax (Rs. 2,50,000).
Accordingly you are NOT required to get your accounts audited.
