Sir, One of my friend is doing money lending business ( Private finance ). He prefers to file IT return for the AY 2020 - 21 under Section 44AD ( ITR 4 ). If we assume that, the total collections for the year is Rs.25 lakhs, out of which, Rs. 4 lakhs is the interest and the remaining is repayment of principal by the borrowers, can he show Rs. 25 lakhs as gross receipts and Rs. 4 lakhs as earnings ( Profit ) ? Is it correct to show the total collection, including principal and interest, in the Gross Receipts ?

theoretically you can do so. There is no bar under 44AD. however, you may run into problems as and when your turnover goes beyond the GST and Tax audit limit.
