can we submit form 15g and 15h if assesse is liable for tax audit but income from interest on fixed deposits is not exceeding income which is not chargeable to income tax

No, you can't submit form 15g and 15h, Because of who has gross total income exceeding basic exemption limit or who are the income tax assesseess are not allowed to submission of form 15g or 15h.
So your case is tax audit case i.e the person should be income tax assessee so he can't submit form 15g or 15h.
In order to be eligible to furnish Form 15G, the non-senior citizen investor needs to fulfill the following two conditions:
1. The final tax on his estimated total income computed as per the provisions of the Income Tax Act should be nil; and 2. The aggregate of the interest etc. received during the financial year should not exceed the basic exemption slab which is Rs 2 Lacs.
If both these conditions are satisfied, Form 15G may be furnished to the bank or the post office and the entire interest income can be received without tax deduction.
Form 15H imposes just the first condition, in that, the final tax on the investor’s estimated total income computed as per the provisions of the Income Tax Act should be nil. The second condition imposed by Form 15G is not applicable in the case of Form 15H.
