As per sec 44AD a specified person can claim the business profit @8% or such higher percentage. This means you have to show minimum profit of 8% otherwise you have to maintain the proper books of account and get the accounts audited. This section doesn't prescribe the higher side for the profit % thus you can show 16% in the itr.

from Income tax view point, nothing much will happen....as the department is NOT going to ask for the BOOKS
But looking forward....when in subsequent years....say after 4-5 years...the assessee might become eligible for TAX audit...the Opening balances wont match with the actual INVESTMENTs in hand...so be carefull

You can account 16% profit in the books of accounts and declare income at 8% u/s 44AD in the ITR.
Here the assessee is free to exercise any option at his will. He may morally show actual income and pay tax on it as an Honest citizen of the country, but such Honesty is not digressed even if he files return @ 8% as he is legally correct. Also, the AO cannot make any addition on this count as there is no provision under the Act permitting to make such addition.
Suppose My turnover is 60,00,000 Profit as Per ITR 8% = 4,80,000 Actual Profit 16% = 9,60,000
how to adjust additional Cash of Rs. 480000(960,000-480,000) in Books of Account. I am facing practical difficulty Bcz My investment is higher then My books of Account (AS per IT Department). But We are as Per IT Act. What action can be taken by department in future although we are not default as per IT Act Sec. 44AD.

Maintain books as per actual profits earned. You can declare 8% profit u/s 44AD no action can be taken against you for this difference.
