Section 44AB – Increased threshold for presumptive tax cases under section 44AD – Consequential amendments required in section 194A/ 194H/ 194I & 194J
It is proposed to amend the section 44AB to exclude the eligible person, who declares profits for the previous year in accordance with the provisions of sub-section (1) of section 44AD and his total sales, total turnover or gross receipts, as the case may be, in business does not exceed two crore rupees in such previous year, from requirement of audit of books of accounts under section 44AB.
While filling the required details in Form No. 3 CD for assessees, who are subject to Compulsory Audit under various sections, the correct details could not be furnished if the assessee has got income from more than one business and separate books are maintained for such businesses.
Section 44AB of the Act, stipulates that the accounts are to be got audited by an accountant and furnished in the prescribed manner before the ‘specified date’. The ‘specified date’ under Explanation (ii) to that section has been defined to be the ‘due date’ for furnishing the return of income under subsection (1) of section 139. Therefore, the extended ‘due date’ as per CBDT order dated 9th September, 2016 would also apply for the purpose of section 44AB of the Act.
Due date for filing return & TAR for assessee whose due date for filing income tax return is 30th Sept (being Company,firms,and other required to get accounts audited under income tax act or other law and working partners of such firm) is extended to 17th October 2016

Presumptive Income is the concept introduced by the Income Tax Department under the Presumptive Taxation Scheme so as to allow the assessee to disclose his income on presumptive basis under the relevant sections and their provisions thereof. Let us understand them in detail.
Section 44AB of the Income-tax Act (‘the Act’) makes it obligatory for every person carrying on business to get his accounts of any previous year audited if his total sales, turnover or gross receipts exceed one crore rupees. However, if an eligible person opts for presumptive taxation scheme as per section 44AD(1) of the Act, he shall not be required to get his accounts audited if the total turnover or gross receipts of the relevant previous year does not exceed two crore rupees.
It is held that requirement of getting books of account audited can arise only where the books of account are maintained. In the absence of the maintenance of books of account, there can be no penalty u/s 271B of the Act.
In order to reduce the compliance burden, it is proposed to increase the threshold limit of total gross receipts, specified under section 44AB for getting accounts audited, from twenty five lakh rupees to fifty lakh rupees in the case of persons carrying on profession.
