This article wishes to bring to the notice of the concerned authorities a major inconsistency that exist between the provisions of section 44 AB and the Audit Report Utility available in the Income Tax E filing website.
The section 44AD of the Income Tax Act contains special provisions for computing profits and gains of a business on presumptive basis. It is applicable in respect of eligible business / (es) carried by an eligible assessee.
As per the combined readings of provisions of sections 44AB, 44AD and 44ADA of the Income Tax Act, 1961, every person carrying a business whose turnover exceeds Rs.1Cr./ 2 Cr. (as the case may be), or carrying on a profession whose gross receipts exceed Rs. 50 Lakh in the relevant assessment year, must get his/her accounts audited.
Mr. Pradeep Jain Vs ITO (ITAT Delhi) The assessee has filed the return of income for assessment year under appeal declaring income of Rs.9,63,920/-, out of which, income was declared at Rs.9 lakhs under section 44AD of the I.T. Act, 1961. In subsequent A.Y. 2016-2017 also, assessee declared income under section 44AD of the I.T. […]
There is general opinion that if an eligible assessee is opting for section 44AD and section 44ADA, he is not required to maintain books of accounts. The requirement to maintain books of accounts is governed by section 44AA of the Income Tax Act. As per section 44AD(1): Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in sections […]

Before Finance Act, 2016 following conditions was mentioned u/s 44AD(5): “Notwithstanding anything contained in the foregoing provisions of this section, an […]

Assessee cannot opt for ‘Presumptive Tax’ for six years (including the year in which he has come out of the scheme) , if he has not offered income under this scheme for consecutively for six years including the first year in which he has opted for the scheme. Does it mean that if has opted for the scheme for six years consecutively, afterwards he is free to opt for the scheme, whenever he likes?
When we talk about Presumptive Taxation, then it automatically relates to Tax Audit under Income Tax Act, 1961. At student level, I have seen students getting confused in Sections 44AB & 44AD because 44AB says about the limit of Rs. 1 crore while Section 44AD says about the limit of Rs. 2 crore. Don’t worry; […]
