28 April 2012 U/s 44Ad prescribed the minimum amount of profit shown by assessee. If assessee has income more than 8%, then he should disclose more income.

In case of scrutiny, the AO can assesse the greater income and accordingly tax the same.

01 May 2012 You can show income @8% of your gross T.O. and claims to have not maintained books of accounts, unless you claim to have earned higher than prescribed u/s. 44AD.

By the introduction of words Claimed to have been earned in section 44AD(1), the legislature shows his intention to accept specified income as returned income even if higher sum is earned by eligible assessee unless it is claimed by assessee in his Income Tax Return.

unproportionate saving/investment out of excess earning may put in trouble.
