29 April 2012 Dear expert,
I would like to know, if assessee has not maintain any books of accounts except bill book and he is opting Sec. 44AD, then how he can ascertain his cash in hand on 31st march?
If his net profit @8% is Rs. 258000/-, then can he show the any sum above Rs. 258000/- as cash in hand or not.
Please advise me

29 April 2012 In addition to the above, we may also suggest the assessee to, at least, count the physical cash as well as to take inventory as on 31st March.
.
It will be helpful to him in visualising his true financial position.
