Hello everyone,

one of my client has turnover of Rs.80 lacs in the previous year 2012-13 his net profit is 500000 (<8%)

he do not want to opt 44AD because he wl have to get his accounts audited.

My question :

can i file his return in ITR4 form without getting books of accounts audited since t/o is less than 1 cr although profit is less than 8% of t/o?

waiting for the views of the experts.
