I have a query that in case of heavy goods vehicle for calculation purpose whether gross vehicle weight or unladen weight should be taken as there are a heavy difference on both. Eg Unladen weight 13 MT and gross vehicle weight 55 MT, So Whether income will calculate on 55 MT OR 13MT brief of section are mention below:-
it is proposed to amend the section 44AE of the Act to provide that, in the case of heavy goods vehicle (more than 12MT gross vehicle weight), the income would deemed to be an amount equal to one thousand rupees per ton of gross vehicle weight or unladen weight, as the case may be, per month or part of a month for each goods vehicle or the amount claimed to be actually earned by the assessee, whichever is higher

Sir, As per section 44AE gross weight should be taken and as per Motor Vehicle Act Gross Weight is weight of vehicle + load. so in above example it should be 55MT, please clarify
