1. You have to show income under the head pgbp.
2. Yes he can file the return for AY 2015-16.
3. Penalty is generally not levied and depends upon the discretion of the AO. It is not required to be paid while filing the return.

Yes, the cab driver can show his income under section 44AD if he is carrying on a business and meets the eligibility criteria:
Turnover (gross receipts) up to ₹2 crore
Business other than profession, plying, hiring or leasing goods carriages
Declares a presumptive income at 8% (6% if receipts are digital payments) of gross turnover
Since cab driving through platforms like Ola is considered a business activity and not employment or profession, 44AD can apply here.
So in short:
Show income under Profits and Gains from Business or Profession (PGBP)
Use section 44AD presumptive taxation (8% of gross receipts)
File return accordingly using ITR-4S or ITR-4 depending on income sources
This will simplify filing and avoid maintaining detailed books of accounts.
