Section 44 AD talks of turnover pertaining to the previous financial year. For my knowledge sake, will you please inform me why have you doubt ? I am not expert in Income Tax Act. I am asking with an intent to enrich my knowledge in this field.

Thanks.

You have to file income tax return. There is no exemption for filing income tax return. Since your turnover is more than ₹ 1 crore tax audit is to be done; if you are professional tax audit is required if the same exceeds ₹ 50 lakhs.

My question is that, Can I file income tax return under 44ad without tax audit because my turnover is 1.75 cr.?

44ad limit is 2cr

Obvious no need to file when section 44AD it self your answer

AI Summary

Presumptive taxation under section 44AD may determine whether a business must undergo a tax audit when turnover fluctuates. A taxpayer asked whether returns for the year may be filed under presumptive taxation given current turnover below the presumptive ceiling after a prior year that required audit. Contributors observed that the presumptive scheme's turnover test relates to the previous financial year and offered contrasting views: one stated that audit applies when turnover exceeds a business threshold and professionals face a lower audit threshold; another maintained that if presumptive taxation applies, no tax audit is required.
