18 April 2017 If your profession is eligible for 44ADA, banks need your returns only to know your income sources as assessed by the department. As per Section 44ADA you have to offer minimum 50% of your turnover in profession as taxable income. You can also offer a higher amount for taxation say 60 or 70%. 44ADA is voluntary. If you wish to show a lower amount as your taxable income from your professional receipts, you have the option to maintain account books as per section 44AA and get them audited as per Section 44AB. Bank may also ask you for your Section 194 J TDS certificates.
