Hi Ruchi,

Please refer the Section 44AD.

in the case of an eligible assessee engaged in an eligible business, a sum equal to eight per cent of the total turnover or gross receipts of the assessee in the previous year on account of such business or, as the case may be, a sum higher than the aforesaid sum claimed to have been earned by the eligible assessee, shall be deemed to be the profits and gains of such business chargeable to tax under the head "Profits and gains of business or profession"

Also, please refer clause 4 of section 44AD

(4) The provisions of Chapter XVII-C shall not apply to an eligible assessee in so far as they relate to the eligible business.

Chapter XVII - Collection & recovery of tax

Section 190 - Deduction at source and advance payment.

Hence, in view of the above, you are not liable for advance tax.

Thanks,

Shobhit

Hi,

Sorry for misinterpretation . .!!

The provisions of Chapter XVIIC relating to Advance Tax would also not apply in cases where section 44AD is applied.

Suggestions:-

Make a polite reply letter with relevent provision and submit to income tax department.

Thank you.

Dear Richi Any person whose net tax is more than 10000 is liable to pay advance Tax. As in last AY u had paid self assessment tax I.e 90000 is show ur current FY tax will be more than 10000. So it is advisable to pay your advance tax to avoide further interest U/s 234b & 234c

I would also advise you to deposit Self Asst Tax . Theoritically we may see that provisions of Advance Tax and interest u/s 234 B,C are not applicable for assesses filing return u/s 44AD but practically while filing return one nay notice that the excel sheet calculates interest u/s A,B,C. The software of the I.T. Department may not have been updated with provisions of 44AD. Moreover these notices are system generated and the Department doesnot study each an everycase in detail before issuing such letter.

section 44AD prescribes a method of computing income which are covered under the said act Moreover, advanced tax rules is a rule which is independent of section 44AD If total tax liability for an assesse exceeds rs. 10000 ,then advance tax rules are applicable. Here, the assesse has paid rs. 90000 as tax by self assessment. Hence, advance t as tax provisions become applicable and the INCOME tax department is correct. Now, you have to pay interest for non compliance with as advance tax rules.
