it is an opinion that has been previously used too as we can contend that we are maintaining books and therefore not covered under 44AD anyway

If you want to show less than 8% on gross turnover than you have to get audited and furnish a report of such audit as required under section 44AB.

if you read the act, it doesn't mandate me to not maintain books if my turnover is below 1 cr. So if I am anyway maintaining books, then no one can force me to fall under 44AD. I can simply be maintaining books under 44AA.
However, we generally do not go with this opinion because the cost of compliance is much less compared to cost of non-compliance (penalty etc) if the ITO doesn't agree with our position. cost of litigation in terms of time and money is anyway way too high
I ask to you some clarity about the same. If less than 1cr and Profit less than 8%. Some of CA says Audit required and Some of says not required then Which one is correct?
