u/s 44AD one has to offer 8% income for tax purpose. or get their accounts audited in case of lower income 

In case of 44AD not possiable for NIL Income and If you go forcely than its a Defective Return and You received Income Tax Notice also for the same.

Partnership firm, can claim further deduction of remuneration and interest paid to its partners within the limit specified under section 40(b).

I believe you can very well file ROI u/s 44AD

ITR can be filed u/s 44AD with nil income provided interest & remuneration paid to partners is as per sec 40 as mentioned by Mr. Singh.

Yes it considered as defective return. Return can be file as you can take income 8% of gross turnover and then claim deduction of interest u/s 40(b) after this you find book profit and then you can claim remuneration as dedution according to aforesaid section. Through this process you can be file the return.

I agree with Jaspal & Shivani.

Proviso to sec. 44AD(2) states that if it is a partnership firm salary and interest can be deducted as per limits specified in Sec. 40(b)..
U/s 44AD Net profits should be 8% before providing remuneration and interest on capital, once your profits are 8% of your sales then you are free to provide interest and remuneration upto 150000

agreed with Mr parveen

You can file roi with nil income after claiming deduction of interest and remuneration, which not be considered as defective return, make sure income is nil and not negative o after above deduction otherwise will a defective return

Thanks all

The remuneration here is to be restricted to the extent of 8% of the profit less interest on capital
