Query 1 - The section 44ADA(1) says that " a sum equal to 50% of the total gross receipts of the assessee in the previous year on account of such profession, or as the case may be, a sum higher than the aforesaid sum claimed to have been earned by the assessee, shall be deemed to be the profits and gains of such profession chargeable to tax"
This means in your case if the Assessee has earned Rs 10 lakhs as profit then he is required to offer the said profit for tax and not 50% (Rs 7.5 Lakhs).
Query 2 - If the proper books are maintained than a CA can certify the same for bank purpose as Income Tax and Banks are separate. But CA certifying has to satisfy himself/herself that books of accounts are true and fair.
Query 3 - If the assessee falls for tax audit in next financial year, the tax auditor can put a disclosure/observation that opening balances have been drawn up from unadutied balances and not subject to verification. So that the tax auditor has no implication on it.
