What if the assessee reports a lower profit?


An assessed person may disclose income that is less than the projected income. In this situation, he will need to:

  • Maintain accounting records and other paperwork as required by section 44AA.

  • Regardless of the volume of turnover or gross receipts, have his accounts audited in accordance with section 44AB.


Rate of Tax


If the assessee meets the eligibility and applicability requirements, its income might be assumed to be at 50%. The assessee who determines its income in accordance with this section is not required to keep a book of accounts or have it audited.
