Cash receipts are taxed at a minimum of 8% under Sec 44AD. With mostly cash sales, the turnover limit is ₹2 crore, since the higher ₹3 crore limit needs cash receipts within 5%.

Provisions

Sec 44AD (now Sec 58); Sec 115BAC (now Sec 202)

Analysis

On ₹60,00,000 cash sales, minimum income is ₹4,80,000. Under the new regime for AY 2026-27, income up to ₹12 lakh gets full rebate under Sec 87A for residents, so tax may be nil if this is your only income. Encouraging UPI payments would reduce the presumptive rate to 6% on those receipts. Keep daily sales records in case of a query.
