Yes you partners salary and interest is allowed to be deducted as per sec 40(b) even if you opt for presumptive tax u/s 44 AD.

On the first book profit of Rs. 300000 or loss------------------Remuneration to partner up to Rs. 150000 or 90% of book profit whichever is more

On the balance of book profit @ 60%(up to)

provided these should be payable as per partnership deed.

Hi, 

44AD is not available for profession, 44ADA is available to profession from 1.4.2017. As far as your net question, interest and salary shall be deductible to the extent allowable u/s 40b.

Budget 2016 Update: The benefit of Section 44AD has now been extended to Professionals as well. Any professional whose gross total receipts during the year are less than 50 Lakhs can make use of this Section and disclose Income equivalent to 50% of the Gross Receipts. 

Moreover, if an assessee is applying section 44AD and assuming his income to be 8% of total turnover, he won’t be allowed to claim any expense or depreciation. Any deduction allowed under provisions of Section 30 to 38 shall, for the purpose of income computed under this section be deemed to have been already given full effect and no further deduction shall be allowed under these sections.

However, remuneration or interest paid to partners shall be allowed as deduction from the income computed under this section. Such deduction shall be subject to conditions and limits specified u/s 40(b).

Thank you

Thanks sirs for your relpy  Whether this is applicable for Financial yr 2015-16...

Some one may clearly say that sec 40[b] shall applicable for Profesional firms too. when adopting sec 44AD or other equivalent Sec, in the Act

Regards sirs

• There is no provision in section 44ADA permitting a professional firm to deduct interest / remuneration paid to partners from the presumptive income offered - 

Sorry to note that NO 40[b] is allowed when opt for Sec:44 ADA,

Hence Mr V Kulkarani is wrong it seems...
