ONE OF MY CLIENT -INDIVIDUAL  HAS TURNOVER OF RS 20 LACS (TOTAL OTHER THAN CASH) IN FY 18-19

HE DECLARES PROFIT BELOW 6% 

HIS TOTAL INCOME IS LESS THAN BASIC EXEMPTION LIMIT

HAS NEVER EXERCISED THE OPTION U/S 44AD IN PAST

IS IT COMPULSORY FOR HIM TO EXERCISE OPTION U/S 44AD OR ITS OPTIONAL?

IS AUDIT US 44AB REQUIRED IN THIS CASE?
