Sec 44ad

In the case of a trader covered under section 44AD whether the assessing officer can ignore the turnover as per vat returns and take the gross receipts in the bank statement as gross turnover?

When we compare VAT Returns with Bank pass book, VAT returns are more appropriate. Bank statement reflect Bank transactions only and does not reflect Credit transactions. As per section 44AD, you need to consider credit in your profit and loss account as Sales. Indeed your profit and loss account may reflect including VAT but VAT returns contain Gross receipts only.So it would be preferable to consider VAT returns for Tax audit u/s.44AB.
