Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether declaring an 8% profit under Section 44AD is compulsory for businesses with turnover below ₹1 crore. It explains that it's not mandatory if you haven't opted out of 44AD in previous years and are completing your first five consecutive years. If you do opt out, you'll need to maintain books of accounts and pay tax on your actual profits.
Not compulsory for 6/8% profit margin, if the assessee had not opted out from sec. 44AD, in any previous year, (including current) before completion of 5 years continuously.
