Section 44AB: Audit of Accounts:-
- Business: Gross Receipt/Turnover exceeds Rs.1,00,00,000; or
- Declaring lesser Income than as prescribed u/s 44AD.
Section 44AD: Computing Profits and Gains of Business on Presumptive Basis:-
- Gross Receipt/Turnover is less than or equal to Rs.1,00,00,000; and
- Profit and Gains of Business (Higher of following)
- 8% of Gross Receipt/Turnover; or
- Self-Declared Profit.
Your, Gross Receipt = Rs.20,00,000 (less than Rs.1,00,00,000), so Audit u/s 44AB is not compulsory.
But if you want to declare your profit Rs.1,00,000 (i.e. 5% of Rs.20,00,000) which is less 8% (i.e. Rs. 1,60,000) of Gross Receipt (Rs.20,00,000), minimum profit u/s 44AD.
So, you have to get your Account Audited and ITR-4 is to be submitted.
But, according to me you should go for Section 44AD and show your Income Rs.1,60,000 (8% of Rs.20,00,000).
As its (Rs.1,60,000) is less than Basic Exemption Limit of Rs.2,50,000 (minimum), so there will be No Tax Liability on you and you need not to get your accounts audited and also you can file ITR-4S (simplest one). ITR-4S is as simple as you can file yourself.
Here, I am providing a link of Income Tax Calculator for AY 2016-17 to compute Income Tax u/s 44AD and also attaching ITR-4S (AY 2015-16) for more clarity and understanding.
