Hi Laxmi, Sec44AF will be applicable if the assesee is in retail business & turnover not exceeding 40 lakhs. Your case will not attract sec44AF because the turnover is excess of 40 lakhs.

according to sec 44AF 5% of the Turnover or the sum higher than the aforesaid sum is taxable. Interest on Deposits are Taxable under the head Income from Other Sources.

Even though they declare more than 5 % U/s 44AF the assessee should get the books to be audited u/s 44AF being the turnover is more than 40 Lakhs. Interest income to be considered sepreatly in the other source heads if the deposits is related to the business then it shall be included in the business itself.

interest income is not a income from business & profession unless the assessee is in the business of money lending or financing. There are several case laws including of supreme court of india on this. interest income is to be considered separately

MAHI. FOR A RETURN UNDER SEC 44AF FOR TRADERS. THE ASSESSEE WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN ALLOWED THE DEDUCTION OF ALL EXPENDITURE EVEN THE DEPRECIATION ALSO. ONLY U WILL BE ALLOWED TO GET DEDUCTION OF REMUNERATION AND INTEREST TO PARTNERS AFTER SATISFYING SOME CONDITIONS UNDER SECTION 40(b) OF THE INCOME TAX ACT. AND WRITTEN DOWN VALUE OF THE ASSET WILL BE AS THE DEPRECIATION HAS BEEN ALLOWED TO THE ASSESSEE.SO IN UR CASE 135000-30000-100000=5000 IS THE TAXABLE INCOME .
