Itr 3 - presumptive scheme u/s 44ada - ay 2018-19

ITR Filing 2881 views 7 replies

In addition of other heads of income I have profession income of Rs.500000. I would like to go for presumptive tax scheme u/s 44 ADA wherein my taxable income would be Rs. 250000 (i.e. 50%). There are 3 schedules to be filled in ITR 3. BS, P&L and BP. I am not able to arrive at the taxable amount mentioned above after filling in the 2 schedules. Need guidance how to proceed with filling up the 3 schedules.

For presumptive asessment u/s. 44ADA you are supposed to fili only sr. no. 53 (ii) of P&L sheet and sr. no.6 of BS

NO ACCOUNT CASE 53 In a case where regular books of account of business or profession are not maintained, furnish the following information for previous year 2017-18 in respect of business or profession
  (i) For assessee carrying on Business        
  a Gross receipts
  b Gross profit        
  c Expenses        
  d Net profit        
    (ii) For assessee carrying on Profession        
    a Gross receipts
    b Gross profit        
    c Expenses        
    d Net profit        
      Total (53(i)d + 53(ii)d)    

 

Sheet BS::

NO ACCOUNT
CASE

  a Amount of total sundry debtors
  b Amount of total sundry creditors
  c Amount of total stock-in-trade
  d Amount of the cash balance

Sir, But nowhere in BS & P&L it is mentioned that I am filing u/s 44ADA. This information is to be filled in schedule BP. 

 

The following part of sheet BP is auto filled.........

1 Profit before tax as per profit and loss account (item 45 and 53 of Part A-P&L) 1 0

 

In sheet 'General Information' you have to select....... no books of accounts maintained & no tax audit liability u/s. 44AB.........

Are you liable to maintain accounts as per section 44AA? (Select)    (Select)  
Are you liable for audit under section 44AB?  (Select)  
If liable for audit u/s 44AB, whether the accounts have been audited by an accountant? If yes, furnish the following information below  

Agreed, If you see item 4 and 36 in BP, we have to fill in the info relating to 44ADA. If I fill in the info in 36 it takes the figure in item 4 and reduce from item 1 in BP, subsequently it adds up and arrives at orginal figure in item 37 in BP. Hence it is not giving 50% deduction. 

1. The 50% over gross receipts is to be added in Sr. 53(ii)(b) itself... i.e. 50% of 53(ii)(a)  in 'Sheet P&L'

2.  After validation of 'sheet TI-TTI'  press 'calculate tax' below 'validation' to generate tax liability.....

Sir Dhirajlal, I filled in exactly as you have explained. 

I am a doctor having some salaried income and some from professional practice. I also have a small income from foreign country as a consultant.  
I therefore filed ITR 3 in AY 2018-19 as I need to show foreign income in Schedule FSI. 
As I do not maintain books of account, I opted for Presumptive Income from Profession (44ADA) and thus selected the No Accounts Case in ITR 3 (General Section).

On Balance Sheet page, I filled only sec 6 (No Accounts Case) as follows:
Sundry Debtors = 0
Sundry Creditors = 0
Stock in trade = 0
Cash balance = 0

On Profits and Loss Account page, I filled only sec 53 (ii) for Professions (No Accounts Case) as follows:
Gross Receipts = 900000/-
Gross Profit = 450000/- (i.e 50% of Gross Receipts to show Presumptive Income)
Expenses = 0
Net Profit = 450000/-

The Schedule BP - Computation of Income from Business or Profession thus reflected:
A: From Business or Profession
1: Profit before tax as per profit and loss account (item 45 and 53 of Part A-P and L ) = 450000/-

4. Profit or loss included in 1, which is referred to in section 44AD/44ADA/44AE/44B/44BB/44BBA/44BBB/ 44D/44DA/ Chapter-XII-G/ First Schedule of
Income-tax Act = 450000/-

36. Profits and gains of business or profession deemed to be under -
ii Section 44ADA = 450000/-

37. Net profit or loss from business or profession other than speculative business and specified business (35 + 36xi)) = 450000/-

38. Net Profit or loss from business or profession other than speculative business and specified business,after applying rule 7A, 7B or 8), if applicable (If rule 7A, 7B or 8 is not applicable, enter same
figure as in 37) (If loss take the figure to 2i of item E) = 450000/-

The computation of income page thus reflected:
PART B - TI (Computation of Total Income)
3. Profits and gains from business or profession
i Profit and gains from business other than speculative business and specified business
(A38 of Schedule-BP) (enter nil if loss) = 450000/-

vi Total (3i + 3ii + 3iii + 3iv + 3v) (enter nil if 3vi is a loss) = 450000/-

However, I still received a notice u/s 139(9) with error code 311 that "Taxpayer having income under the head Profits and gains of Business or Profession but has not filled Balance Sheet and P & L Account...". 
The probable resolution that the notice mentions is "The Part B of the P & L account and part B of the Balance Sheet (i.e. No Account Case Section) should be entered in the corrected return.."

But as you can see above, i have indeed filled data for both P&L and Balance Sheet under presumptive income by taking 50% of Gross Receipts. 
And I have filled all the other sections to show my salary and other income. Still I am getting this notice. Please help.

Have your query solved?
