26 February 2012 Dear sir,
I am a tyre dealer, and want to opt sec. 44AD in AY 2011-12.
At the time of inception, I had to deposit security amount of Rs. 5 lacs, to obtain tyre dealership, at my principal company. And the tyre company paying interest(after deducting TDS) quarterly on that security amount on the following basis -
1. for business performance below the average - @ 6% per annum.
2. for average business performance - @ 12% per annum.
3. for business performance above average - @ 18% per annum.
Hereby, I want to know that, if I opt the Sec. 44AD then, whether the said interest would be deemed as inclusive of 8% profit
or
I have to show it in the head of income from other sources besides the profit of 8%.
Please advise me.

26 February 2012 The Interest Received can be set off against interest payable, if any, towards the amount deposited.
.
The interest on deposit being received is dependent on the turnover/performance.
.
The deposit is incidental and necessary to retain the dealership.
.
The turnover has been achieved due to the fact only that deposit has been paid.
.
The interest so receivable is during the normal course of the business and can be considered as forming part of the business income for the purpose of Section 44AD.

Rs. 18000/- to show in the head of income from other sources.
