This discussion clarifies the tax treatment for developers involved in Joint Development Agreements (JDAs). It confirms that income from JDAs is considered business income and can be declared under Section 44AD of the IT Act. Developers can offer a minimum profit of 6-8% on receipts when flats are sold.

Yes, its business income. Yes, it can be declare under sec. 44AD of IT act. If developer had these 5 flats as share in the JDA, and sold for total consideration of 85 L; he can offer minimum 6/8% over the receipts as his profit, as and when these flats are sold.
