On combined reading of section 44AB(e), section 44AD(4) and section 44AD(1), if the net profit is less than 8% (cash receipts) or 6% (non cash recepts), then tax audit will be applicable if the total income is more than basic exemption limit (i.e Rs. 250000/-).
So inorder to avoid tax audit, it is necessary to show atleast 8% net profit and file the return under presumptive tax under section 44AD. This is because if turnover is less than 2 crores then section 44AD can be used.
