Fixed Remuneration - Rs 150000-
Interest on capital @ 12% - Rs 200000-
Net Firm Profit -Rs 100000-
TOTAL > 8% of TO -Rs 450000-
Whether the firms books of accounts need to be audited or not?

No need to do audit. For parnership firms remunaration to partners allowable as deduction from profit computed as per section 44AD. In your case book proft is 250000 i.e. maximum allowable remunaration is Rs.150000. so now 44AD profit is Rs.250000(8% on Rs.50 lacs - 150000) but your profit as per books is Rs.100000 which is less then profit as per section 44AD. If you want to offer lower profit i.e as per your books then you shall be audited your books. I think you have an idea for professional for tax audit limit is Rs.1500000 either firm or individual. I think your partnership firm is under business catageroy not a professional catageroy.
