30 September 2013 Yes, audit is compulsory, Because of as per section 44AD you have to offer minimum income from business is 8% on turnover means Rs.1,61,600/-. But you offering lower income than minimum required and your gross total income exceeds the basic exemption limit so you required to make tax audit u/s 44AB compulsory. In case if you want to offer such Rs.1,61,600 income from business even though profit as per books is lower than that then not required to make tax audit.
