26 December 2007 Book profit as per explanation to Sec 40 (b) is the profit as determined according to Chapter IV-D. The ITO is also duty bound to complete assessment as per The Income Tax Act. By assessing my income he is also preparing the true and coorect income according to I.T. Act. As per my view, assessed income is the book profit what he is deriving after assessment
