Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether professionals and businesses can declare presumptive income under sections 44AD and 44ADA that is lower than their actual profits. While typically only turnover is required if presumptive income is declared, a key question arises about whether the Assessing Officer (AO) can issue a show cause notice for unexplained investments if actual income significantly exceeds the declared presumptive income.

If any income is declared u/s. 44AD/ADA of the act, assessee is liable to provide turnover/receipts only. No question arises for any actual profit.

@ Vivek ,

Income tax dept requires minimum profit % on turnover and they don't look at the actual profit since accounting books are not available
But I have a query that whether A.O. can issue show cause notice to the assessee stating that your actual income and the shown under ITR under 44ADA has variance so why it should not be considered as unexplained investments, so whether A.O has power to initiate proceedings against assesse kindly clarify me on the basis of conclusive evidence
