Assume the profit as per 44AD is less than the book profit. So we will file ITR as per 44AD in ITR-4. Which profit should be added in the capital account in the balance sheet? And why shouldn't we add actual book profit in the capital account irrespective of filing ITR under 44AD.

 Add the profit as per Section 44AD to the capital account. Reason: - Section 44AD allows a simplified presumptive taxation scheme for certain businesses. - The profit declared under Section 44AD is deemed to be the business income, regardless of the actual book profit. - The capital account reflects the owner's equity, and adding the Section 44AD profit ensures that the capital account is not overstated. - Adding the actual book profit would misrepresent the business's financial position, as it would include non-taxable or non-assessable income. By adding the Section 44AD profit to the capital account, you ensure that the balance sheet accurately reflects the business's financial position and complies with tax regulations. However, it's essential to maintain separate records of the actual book profit and the Section 44AD profit for internal reporting and analysis purposes. This will help you understand the business's actual financial performance and make informed decisions.

Sir, I understand your explanation. But if we add profit as per 44AD in the capital account then how will we tally the balance sheet properly.
