to ans ur 1st option - he cant opt for 44ad as the t/o is more than 60 lakhs. And similarly he needs to maintain the books and get the accounts audited.

And the under the second option, he can go for 44AD as the t/o would be 60 Lakhs and will not exceed 60 Lakhs.

the answer to your first question is 44AD.no books are to be maintained.only gross receipts book must be made available.no audit of accounts is required.until the turnover does not exceed 6000000 u can avail presumptive taxation.

the answer to second question is same as first question
