Urgent query regarding Income Tax Audit

One of my client has turnover of 2.05 crore for FY 2019-20, but his cash receipts and payments does not exceed 5% of total receipts and payment respectively.
Therefore, he is not liable for tax profit.
But the actual profit is Rs. 7 lac approx. Then whether in this case, I need to submit only ITR-3 (as he maintains books of account), because some consultants are saying that in this case there will be chances for assessment, so go for audit. But then under which section I should go for audit.

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses an urgent query regarding income tax audit for a client with a turnover of 2.05 crore for FY 2019-20. Despite cash receipts and payments not exceeding 5% of total transactions, leading to a lower taxable profit, the question arises whether a tax audit is mandatory. The consensus leans towards a tax audit being required due to the turnover exceeding the 1 crore threshold, irrespective of cash flow, and the client's history of filing under Section 44AD and subsequent audits.

Once the turnover exceeds one crore he is liable for tax audit. swim this case also your client is liable for tax audit whether received cash on non cash mode
But for ay 20-21, limit is 5 crore in this case
If earlier he use to show incone under 44AD then he Audit is liable
Earlier we used to do tax audit
No need tax audit report,just prepare trading,p&l, balance sheet and submit in itr-3
Sir, thanx for your reply.
Further I want to now if assesee submit ITR under 44AD from AY 11-12 to AY 17-18 and done audit for AY 2018-19 and 2019-20, then what will be the case. Here 44AB(e) will be applicable?
Tax audit applicable
Sir, what is the reason of that?
No then if your turnover is within threshold limit prescribed under 44ab then no need to get audited your account.
Turnover is 2.05 crore and cash payment and receipt does not exceed 5% and further he submit ITR under 44AD from AY 11-12 to AY 17-18 and done audit for AY 2018-19 and AY 2019-20.
My view is that TAX Audit should not be applicable
