44AD is not applicable for a doctor. It prescribes a method of presumptive taxation for assessee engaged in the business of civil construction or supply of labour for civil construction in which a sum equal to 8%of the gross receipts is deemed to be the profits and gains from business. |

Agreed with sanatkumar.

But w.e.f AY 2010-11 44AD is applicable to any business except the business of plying, hiring or leasing of goods carriages specified U/s 44AE. So what is the position?

No.. As doctors are clearly mentioned under the definition of profession u/s 44AA. So they cannot take benefit of 44AD. They have to maintain their books of A/c u/s 44AA and get them audited u/s 44AB if their receipts are more than 15 lakhs.

1.44AB WILL BE APPLICABLE IF IT IS A PROPRIETORY CONCERN HAVING MORE THEN 15LAC GROSS RECEIPT
2.44AD WILL APPLY IF INCOME DECLARE BE LESS THEN 8%...........AND LESS THEN 15 LAC
3.IF HE IS PRICTISE IN THE NAME OF A COMPANY THEN ONLY 44AE WILL APPLY ..AS 44AB APPLIES ONLY TO INDIVUDIAL PROFESSIONAL DOCTORS....
THIS POINT I READ TODAY FRM TAXMANNS BOOK SPEALISED IN 44AB AND OTHER TAX AUDIT
I ALSO FINDSOME MORE TOPICS LIKE....COMPANIES TAX CONSULTANT OR STATUTORY AUDITOR CAN BE TAX AUDITOR U/S 44AB BUT INTERNAL AUDITOR CANNOT ..
IF PROFESSIONAL DOCTOR COVER U/S 44AD..HE NEED NOT KEPT HIS BOOKS OF ACCOUNT AND NO NEED TO DPREPARE FORM 3C

SECTION 44AD APPLIES ONLY TO BUSINESS HAVING TURNOVER LESS THAN 60 LACS DURING THE PREVIOUS YEAR.
SECTION 44AD IS NOT APPLICABLE TO DOCTORS AS THE SAME IS A PROFESSION AND NOT A BUSINESS.
THE ASSESSE SHALL HAVE TO FILE HIS INCOME TAX RETURN IN ITR - 4.
