Sir, As per section 44AD it is compulsory to show 8% income and if income is less then 8% then assessee has to gets its books of account audited. but in case where income of assessee is not exceeding basic exemption limit then whether audit will be required?????

Sub-section 5 of Section 44AD provides that an assessee who claims lower profits than 8% AND whose income exceeds the exemption limit will be required to get his accounts audited.
Accordingly, an audit will be required if BOTH the conditions are satisfied:
1. The assessee claims profits lower than 8%, AND 2. His income exceeds the exemption limit.
If the assessee claims profits lower than 8% but his income does not exceed the exemption limit, he is NOT required to get his accounts audited.
