If he opts to file u/s 44AD, he will not be required to get his books of account audited u/s 44AB.
In the given case since the assessee has incurred loss it is advisable t file return u/s 44AB instead of u/s 44AD, as it will save tax & also shall be eligible to carry forward loss for setoff in next year.
