Declaration of loss in ITR 5

498 views 6 replies

As per ITR 5 instruction:

a) Assessee are required to fill in No books of accounts in Balance sheet and P&L if "whether you have maintained the accounts as per section 44AA" is selected as "No".

b) Part A - P& L (Item No. 65) In case you are not required to maintain regular books of accounts in respect of the business or profession carried on during the year, please fill up the summary details in respect of such activity at column 65 viz. gross receipts, gross profit, expenses and net profit. Declaring of loss from business / profession under no books of accounts is restricted.

so if my income is less than 120000, which will be so if my business is in loss, and my gross receipt in last 3 year is less than 1000000, i can not declare loss as partA p&l (item 65) does not allow declaration of losses. under which section of IT act it is so? what to do if i face such a situation. i am a partnership firm( non llp)

If no books of Accounts then minimum 8% profit will be applicable.
Otherwise it will be kick Audit...

8% audit is required under 44AD right? i am not trying to decalre income under presumptive basis. 

8% audit is required under 44AD right? i am not trying to decalre income under presumptive basis. audit is applicable if i declared income under presumptive basis earlier.. it is under 44AA under which i am required to keep books of account if income is more than 120000.

Pls mention gross total income.

If You are not declare u/s 44AA then 8% and above profit will be declare.

If You want to declare less than 8% then better to file with books of accounts as per sec 44AA...

if you know the loss then you must have calculations too so file return under books maintained.
