as per the provisions of sec 44AD:

i) The scheme is applicable for any business (excluding a business already covered under Sec. 44AE) which has a maximum gross turnover /gross receipts of 60 lakhs.

ii)The presumptive rate of income is prescribed at 8% of gross turnover /gross receipts.

iii)An assessee with turnover below60 lakhs, who shows an income below the presumptive rate prescribed under these provisions, in case his total income exceeds the taxable limit, required to maintain books of accounts and also get them audited

my question is" if a partnership firm  doing  garment trading is having a turnover of 30 lakh with g.p. of 9.5% and a n.p. of 0.5%" ( all genuene)

will it be covered under 44 AD? yes or no

what will be its tax liability?

if it is covered under 44AD then , whether it is attracted to scrutiny as the n.p i..e 0.5% is quite low to the prescribed 8%?

whtas the way out?
