sec44AB will be applicable only when gross receipts or turnover of business exceeds 1 crore

since in this case gross receipts does not exceed 1 crore sec44AB will not be applicable
as a result accounts need not be audited under Income tax act

as per section 44AB if assessee carrying on business specified in 44AD, 44AE, 44BB, 44BBB and he declared his income lower than income as specified there in then his accounts are required to be audited and more over section 44AD will be applicable only to individual, HUF, firm (excluding LLP)

since it is a clearly a company, 44AD will not be applicable in this case.
As a result
1. 8% limit won't applicable
2. gross receipts condition i.e. one crore will be applicable

since gross receipts does not exceed 1 crore accounts need not be audited

Not required to get your accounts audited u/s 44AB as turnover is less than 1 crore and 44AD section is not applicable to companies.
