If the Turnover is less than 1 crore , 8% of turnover can be shown as profit and pay tax accordingly. But you cannot claim any expenses in running the business. You can also show a higher income. It is not necessary to maintain books of accounts. ITR 4s will be applicable. If You think , if expenses including depreciation are claimed profit would have been below 8%, then that profit can be shown in ITR 4. But Audit is compulsory.
