eligible assessee as per the Sec 44AD includes the above assessee as the assessee is not in the business of plying ,hiring or leasing of goods carriages.

1) Ineterst paid under sec 24b will fall under the head of the income from the house property and not fall under the head income from business or profession.

2) LIP paid under section 80C and medical premium paid under under section 80D are not the criteria to decide the whether the assessee can be eligible assessee or not.

3) If the assessee files the late return then there is nothing wrong .There is the provision in Income tax act for filing the late return.it is also not the criteria to decide whether the assessee is the eligible assessee as per sec 44AD or not.

4)if you are filing your return as per the provsion of 8% of Turnover or gross receipt then you can not cliam any exps from sec 30 to 43B.They are deemed to be allowed.

5)you can show the profit more then 8% of gross receipt or turn over which will not affect your eligibilty creitera of eligble assessee.
