Difference amount undisclosed income treatment

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the treatment of the difference between declared presumptive profit and actual profit under Section 44AD of the Income Tax Act. While Section 44AD allows for presumptive income calculation (6% or 8% of turnover), it also permits declaring actual profit if it exceeds the presumptive amount. If the department detects a higher profit than declared, it may be considered undisclosed income. However, case laws suggest this benefit for small traders might not always be treated as undisclosed income.

08 September 2021 Sir, 44AD says presumptive income has to be calculated either 6% for turnover through cheque or 8% for turnover in Cash or the "actual profit" if it is more than presumptive income. In given case if the the extra income got detected by department than it will be treated as undisclosed income.
