Deemed profit or full books
How a Kundrathur unit's profit can be taxed
A small business can declare a fixed share of turnover as profit or keep regular books. Both are legal. The better choice depends on your margin and how customers pay you.
- Section 58, formerly 44AD
Deemed profit of 6% or 8%
6% of turnover received through banks or digital modes and 8% of the rest. No expenses are claimed separately.
- Who can use it
Turnover up to ₹2 crore
Up to ₹3 crore if cash receipts are no more than 5% of turnover. Open to individuals, HUFs and firms, not LLPs or companies.
- Section 63, formerly 44AB
Tax audit above ₹1 crore
The limit rises to ₹10 crore when cash receipts and cash payments are each within 5% of the total.
- The five-year rule
Leaving the scheme has a cost
Opt out within five years of choosing it and you're kept out for the next five. Declaring less than the deemed rate can bring books and an audit.

Common mistakes
Income tax mistakes we fix for Kundrathur units
Most of these start with treating the return as a formality. The department now sees your bank, GST and TDS data before you file.
Receipts in 26AS higher than the return
A customer deducted TDS on job charges, but turnover was taken from the cash book alone, so Form 26AS shows more receipts than the return.
How National Filings prevents it
We reconcile each customer's receipts in Form 26AS and AIS with your sales, and explain any timing differences.
Audit limit crossed without noticing
A building material dealer's turnover passes ₹1 crore and some sales are in cash, so the higher ₹10 crore limit is lost.
How National Filings prevents it
We track turnover and the cash share during the year, so an audit is planned, not found at the last minute.
Moving in and out of the scheme
An owner declares 8% one year, files from books with a lower profit the next, then wants to switch back.
How National Filings prevents it
We explain the five-year rule before you choose, and change method only when it pays.
No advance tax until March
A unit has a good year and pays all its tax with the return, so interest is added for missed instalments.
How National Filings prevents it
We estimate profit before 15 June, 15 September and 15 December. Under the presumptive scheme it can all be paid by 15 March.

FAQ
Income tax in Kundrathur: questions from local owners
Can I come to your Kundrathur office with my income tax papers?
Yes. We're at Corporate Office No 27, 1st Floor, Pallavaram to Main Road, Karaima Nagar, Kundrathur, Chennai 600069, open Monday to Saturday, 9 am to 7 pm. Send a WhatsApp message before you come so the person handling your return is free.
My turnover is under ₹2 crore. Should I use the presumptive scheme?
Often, yes, if your real margin is above 6% to 8% and you don't want to keep full books. Under section 58 of the Income-tax Act, 2025 (formerly section 44AD), profit is taken as 6% of turnover received through banks or digital modes and 8% of the rest, with no separate expense claims. The limit is ₹3 crore if cash receipts stay within 5%. If your margin is thinner, regular books may save tax. We compare both on your figures.
When does a Kundrathur business need a tax audit?
Under section 63 of the new Act (formerly section 44AB), when turnover crosses ₹1 crore. The limit is ₹10 crore if cash receipts and cash payments are each no more than 5% of the totals. A business on the presumptive scheme that declares less than the deemed profit, with total income above the basic exemption limit, may also need books and an audit.
My customer deducts TDS on my job work bills. How do I get it back?
TDS on contract and job work is 1% for an individual or HUF and 2% for a firm or company, once a single bill crosses ₹30,000 or the year's total crosses ₹1 lakh. It shows in your Form 26AS and AIS after the customer files its TDS return. We match it with your sales, chase customers who haven't filed, and claim the credit in your return. Any excess comes back as a refund. If you buy the material yourself and sell finished parts, it is usually a sale and this TDS doesn't apply.
Do I have to pay advance tax on my business income?
Yes, if your tax for the year after TDS is ₹10,000 or more. With regular books it is paid in four parts: 15% by 15 June, 45% by 15 September, 75% by 15 December and the rest by 15 March. Under the presumptive scheme you can pay the whole amount by 15 March. Paying late or short adds interest.
Has the new Income-tax Act changed how my business files?
The Income-tax Act, 2025 applies to income earned from 1 April 2026, now called the tax year. Section and form numbers have changed, for example Form 26AS becomes Form 168, but the presumptive scheme, books and audit limits carry over largely as before. The return you file in 2026 for 2025-26 still follows the old Act.
What is the last date for my business return?
For a business that doesn't need an audit, 31 August after the year ends. With an audit, 31 October. Salaried people and others without business income still file by 31 July. A late return attracts a late fee and interest on unpaid tax, so we aim to file well before the date.
