• 44ad

I own a proprietorship company and plan to submit return under 44AD.I dont maintain books of accounts due to lack of resources and small company.

I can only submit returns vide ITR3 since ITR4(Sugam) is not eligible to me as I am a director in another company.


I have the following doubts

1. Is slno 64 of ITR3 form relevant to me and should I fill the same ?

2. If yes, ITR4 is simple and asks only for Turnover and presumptive Profit %(6% or 8%) whearas ITR3(sl no 64) asks for Turnover, Expense and then Profit.

Since under 44AD I am filing a presumptive (approx) income, it is difficult to derive at expense since books of accounts not maintained.

Ref SCHEDULE BP – DETAILS OF INCOME FROM BUSINESS OR PROFESSION - E2 of ITR 4 form

Ref Slno 64 in ITR 3 form


2. Is it neccesary to maintain books of accounts to file returns vide ITR3 form under 44AD section ?

Yes you must file details in S.no 64 of Form.

So the expenses is just the difference between profit and turnover so it shouldn't be a problem.

No sir 44AD also says you must show actual profit or 6% whichever is higher but most people take it otherwise as per their convinience.

No it's not necessary to maintain books to file ITR 3.

 

Hope you find the information helpful if you do please rate it 5 and provide your valuable feedback for my improvement.

Thank you
