Seeking views of experts on provisions of section 44AD/44ADA of the Income Tax Act, 1961, as follows:
1. Whether a partnership firm can claim deduction on account of salary & interest u/s 40(b) after computing income taxable on estimated basis says 8% or 6% as the case may be of Turnover or Receipt from PGBP.
My view: - Till the Finance Act, 2016, under sub-section (2) of 44AD says that any deduction allowable u/s 30 to 38 shall be deemed to be allowed. There after proviso exclude deduction deemed to allow for salary & interest paid to partners, in case of firm and shall be allowed subject to limit specified u/s 40(b) of the Act.
Meaning there by deduction u/s 40(b) shall be over & above income computed u/s 44AD.
After amendment made by Finance Act, 2017 in section 44AD and inset new section 44ADA, said proviso has been deleted but not whole sub-section.
Sub-section (2) still says that any deduction allowable u/s 30 to 38 shall be deemed to allow u/s 44AD/44ADA.
This sub-section covers or clarifies only deduction from 30 to 38 only not for section 40(b) of the Act.
Although Sub-section (1) overruled from section 28 to 43C and provide method of computation the taxable income. Sub section 2 deals with deduction allowable u/s 30 to 38, which shall be deemed to allow. After changes proviso deleted but still nowhere mentioned that deduction under u/s 40(b) for salary & interest to partners shall not be available.
Now requested to provide your valuable inputs
2. Eligible Assesse declaring income higher than rate specified u/s 44AD & ADA under normal provisions of the Act. Still provisions of 44AD & 44ADA will be applicable?
My view: For eligible assesses for eligible business provisions of 44AD & 44ADA automatically applies wherever assesses declare profit lower than prescribed rate under normal provisions of the Act.
Now requested to provide your valuable inputs
3. In case of partnership firm, profit before partner’s salary & interest is higher than 8% u/s 44AD or 44ADA but after taking effect of salary profit lower than said rate. Will same also come under provisions of section 44AD & 44ADA? If yes need to get account audited for claiming lower profit?
4. Assesses having income from LIC commission or any other commission are not allowed to avail scheme of presumptive taxation u/s 44AD/44ADA. Whether they can declare profit lower than rate specified under normal provision without getting accounts audited u/s 44AB however turnover does not exceeds Rs 1 Crores.
5. Whether word “profession of accountancy” as specified u/s 44AA of the Act covers all types of accountancy works like taxation, bookkeeping, legal, financial & audited services provided by any type of assesse (Individuals, firm, Private/Limited etc) or covers those who are eligible to practice as per Chartered Accountant Act?

Hello Ekta Pandey ji, you have written very nicely and much elaborating manner. I have a doubt regarding clause of Order 2016 in 3 (iii) and 3(iv).
Whether Loan to Directors u/s 185 or loan & investment u/s 186 is required to be covered under clause 3(iii) "Whether the company has granted any loans, secured or unsecured to companies, firms, Limited Liability Partnerships or other parties covered in the register maintained under section 189 of the Companies Act, 2013. If so, whether the terms and conditions of the grant of such loans are not prejudicial to the company’s interest" or not.
Whether contracts or arrangement constitute loan & advance u/s 188 or u/s 184(2) or only covers operational transaction like sale, purchase, leasing as specified u/s 188 only.

Dear Pankaj Ji,
Thanks for putting your valuable query here for in-depth analysis.
(1) As you said above, only Deduction of Expenses u/s 30 to 38 is deemed to be allowed for the purpose of Income Computed as per Section 44AD/44ADA. My view is Salary (Read as Remuneration) and Interest paid to Partner is allowed since it is in the nature of Appropriation of Profit and Taxable in the hands of Partners. Also, ITR-4 allows the same to be claimed by a partnership firm opting for Presumptive Taxation.
(2) The assessee has to show his intention for claiming the benefit of Presumptive Taxation, since if the assessee file Return under Normal Provision then Section 44AA gets applied (Assessee needs to maintain Books of Accounts subject to limit prescribed). Whatever expenses Assessee claims in ITR, he needs to keep/maintain Bills and Vouchers for the same. So, Assessee needs to file ITR-4 only to claim benefit under Presumptive Taxation (Deeming provision as you said won't apply).
(3) If a Partnership Firm opts for Presumptive Taxation Scheme and declares profit, at 8% or 6% as applicable, then even though it's profit gets short from 8% / 6% due to claiming Salary and Interest to Partners, it will still be in compliance of Section 44AD/44ADA since apportionment of Salary and Interest is done after complying with Section 44AD/44ADA (Refer ITR-4 available at Efiling Portal) and hence No Audit is required.
(4) In the case of an Assessee having Income for LIC or Other Commission, In my view, there is No any Specified Rate under Normal Provisions of Income Tax. The Assessee should declare Normal/Actual Profit and he is not required to get his Accounts Audited u/s 44AB even though he declares lower profit or even loss in his ITR if his Turnover in the PY is upto Rs.1 Crore (But he is required to maintain Books of Accounts as specified in Section 44AA so that AO will be able to verify the particulars declared in ITR at the time of Processing of Return of Income).
(5) In my view, the Profession mentioned in Section 44AA(1) is applicable only when such Profession is carried on by a Person in his/her Professional Capacity. A Company/LLP can not work in a Professional Capacity (unless the Bar Council, Medical Association, ICAI, Engineer's Association specifically provides Certificate to carry such Profession by a Company/LLP).
So only those professionals, who are eligible to practice as per ICAI, are covered here. Further, only those works which are allowed by the Governing Body of any profession (Here ICAI) should be covered here. It means any work which is out of the scope (not related to the profession directly) should be excluded from here.
