09 July 2011 ICAI says 'recruiting agents' will fall in the category of 'business'. Therefore they can opt section 44AD. Partner's remuneration and interest on capital is an allowable deduction from 8% profit so declared, provided the 'deed of partnership' contains such clauses.

09 July 2011 The requirement of the provisions of Section 44AD is that your turnover should not exceed minimum as provided u/s 44AB and the profit declared should not be less then 8%. If both the conditions are satisfied then you can file your return u/s 44AD.

As regards Partners Interest and remuneration first check whether you have provided the same in the partner deed to allow interest and remuneration to the partner. If yes then it is allowable.

Note that if you provide Partners Interest and remuneration and the profit declared goes below 8% then you have get your accounts audited u/s 44AB
