01 March 2016 Now any individual or HUF can opt for presumptive taxation of Business Income @ 8% under section 44AD upto Rs. 2 Crores from F.Y. 2016 - 17 and need not maintain books of accounts. The limit till F.Y. 2015 - 16 was Rs. 1 crore.

The Finance Bill proposes to introduce a new section 44ADA by which professionals (Individuals, HUFs and Partnership Firms, but not LLPs) who were required to maintain books of accounts under section 44AA can now opt for presumptive taxation of Professional Income @ 50% upto a turnover of Rs.50 Lakhs, and need not maintain books of accounts. Corresponding enhancement is made in professional income in Section 44AB.
