Offering income @ 8% of gross receipts is restricted under section 44AD in relation to civil construction. However for such type of business and for others as well penalty under section 271(1)(c) cannot be sustained wherein there is nothing on record to substantiate that there was failure on the part of the assessee to return correct income due to fraud, or willful neglect or furnishing inaccurate particulars of income vide the decision in CIT Vs. Iqbal Singh & Co (2009) 180 Taxman 366 (P&H).
