Total turnover from trading business is 90 lacs which is audited and another contract receipt is 5 lacs for which tax is computed after appling section 44AD. Case in secrutiny. AO trying to impose penalty of non audit after taking into consideration the Contract receipts

if both the business are different (despite the owner being the same), then the AO cannot levy penalty on the same. As we can maintain different policies for different businesses. However, if the provisions of Sec.44AD are not applied to those receipts and separate set of books are maintained for them then they should be audited.
But as in your case, benefit of Section 44AD has been taken, there is no need to audit those receipts.
