When you opt for 44AD i.e. in case your turnover is below 60 lacs and you show a profit more than 8%, then you don't need to have your accounts audited. But in case you show your profit less than 8% of your turnover then you need to have your accounts audited.

in this case you r not eligible for audit 

nett profit more than 8% and sale is less than 60 lakh than 44ab not applicable

An assessee with turnover below Rs. 60 lakhs, who shows an income below the presumptive rate prescribed under the provisions of Sec 44AD, in case his total income exceeds the taxable limit, required to maintain books of accounts and also get them audited by a CA. So in your case if you wish to show a profit below 8% of turnover you have to maintain accounts as per 44AA and get them audited under 44AB.
 
So I feel that,for small business firms, its better to opt persumptive taxation than maintaining a long list of books of accounts and spending a good sum as Audit Fee.Moreover an assessee opting for 44AD is exempt from paying advance tax. So go for 44AD.............

 

If in dis case assesse is maintaining books and preparing B/S n P/L regularly , can AO makes him mandatory to audit the books and show the true profit and not 8%???

agree with above experts

@ D.S.Chauhan............I just mentioned my opinion abt why one should go for 44AD rather than declaring profit more than 8% of turnover.I didn't dealt with Safaf's question in particular because it was already answered by Abhishek and others. Sorry if my answer was an inappropriate one n this context.

 

please provide me nots on account of trading concern, tell me in which case caro2003 apply

thanks

Section 44Ab not attract if turnover less then 60 lakhs and profit more then 8%

Section 44 AD comes as a relief for small businessman as per me. Simply opt for 8 % or more profit under the section and no hassales for maintaining books....It is indeed an advantage to go 44AD instead for having audit..

Hi all, please find attached herewith slide show on Section 44AD. This may be useful for you all.

...section 44AD is not mandatory.....it is optinal...u can have turnover less than 60 lac and can declare profit more than 8%..but now u r no longer covered under 44AD.....and normal provision of book keeping(44AA) and tax audit(44 AB)...applies to u....

and now as per normal provision ur turnover is to b seen ,which is less thn 60 lac...so u r not liable to tax audit
