17 December 2015 The provisions of section 44AD are applicable to such resident assesses who is an Individual, 11indu Undivided Family and Partnership Firm but not Limited Liability Partnership Firm.
No need to maintain books of accounts

It should be noted that an assesses, being a partnership firm, can claim further deduction of remuneration and interest paid to its partners within the limit specified under section 40(b). In other words, in case of an assesses being a partnership firm, separate deduction from the net income computed as per presumptive taxation scheme in respect of remuneration and interest paid to its partners is allowed. Further, from income computed at the aforesaid rate, no dis allowance can be made under sections 40, 40A and 43B. Thus, in case of an assesses adopting the presumptive taxation scheme of section 44AD, no dis allowance under sections 40, 40A and 43B will apply.
