  1. Facts

    Under Sec 44AD, presumptive income is at least 6% of turnover received through bank and digital modes by the due date, and 8% of the rest, including cash. You may declare more if your actual profit is higher.

  2. Provisions and law

    • Sec 44AD (now Sec 58)Presumptive business income at 6% of digital and 8% of other receipts for eligible businesses
  3. Analysis

    On ₹45 lakh digital and ₹45 lakh cash, minimum income is ₹2,70,000 plus ₹3,60,000, so ₹6,30,000. Receipts by cheque that clear after the due date count as other receipts at 8%. If your real margin is 15%, declare the real profit; showing only the minimum when the margin is clearly higher can still be questioned. Enter the split correctly in the schedule.

  4. Conclusion

    1. Split receipts into digital or bank and cash or other
    2. Apply 6% and 8% respectively
    3. Compare with your actual margin and declare the higher
    4. Enter both figures in Schedule BP
