Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether a business with a £70 lakh turnover in FY 19-20 can declare profits below 8% under Section 44AD for FY 20-21. The consensus is yes, provided specific conditions are met. However, compliance with Sections 44AA (maintenance of books) and 44AB (tax audit) may be required if profits are declared below the prescribed thresholds (6% for non-cash transactions, 8% otherwise). If actual profits are significantly lower than these percentages, it's advisable to file under ITR3 with a Profit & Loss statement and Balance Sheet, rather than Section 44AD.

You can declare profits below 6% / 8% as the case may be but now you need to comply eith Sec 44AA (Maintenance of Books of Accounts) and Sec 44AB (Tax Audit) 

Below 8% means how much ?
If turnover is in non-cash mode, you need to declare 6% profit minimum. Below this, don't file under 44AD. File ITR3 with PandL , Balance sheet with whatever actual profit figure. And note that there is no audit requirement as turnover is below 1 CR
Yes.... I agreed to Mr NAVEEN CHAND reply...

@ Mr Prashant kumar.,

Yes... You can file ITR for the FY 19-20 with less than 8 percent as per Mr Naveen Chand view...

For FY 20-21 You can opt sec 44ad if all conditions are fulfilled as per section. No more restrictions based on FY 19-20 with FY 20-21...

Note : FY 20-21 reply only based in Your query...
