Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the definition of 'turnover' for income tax. While the Companies Act 2013 defines it for companies, the Income Tax Act 1961 does not explicitly define the term. Participants explore what constitutes turnover, including revenue from goods and services, and discuss its application for non-corporate entities like sole proprietorships and partnerships filing under Section 44AD.

"Turnover" means the gross amount of revenue recognised in the profit and loss account from the sale, supply, or distribution of goods or on account of services rendered, or both, by a company during a financial year.
I agree with Asif shaikh , revenue on account of sale of goods or services during the financial year , but it has not written in the Income Tax act in section 2 definition or any where in the act .
The Term ‘Turnover’ has not been defined under the Income Tax Act, 1961. According to section 2(91) of Companies Act 2013 as amended by the Companies (Amendment) Act, 2017
Companies Act. is applicable to Companies only , what about non corporate , what they should consider as turnover .I,e propriter , partner ship firm etc while filling ITR4 under section 44Ad of the Income Tax act .
