You have declared your turnover of 1 crore. You have paid your tax at 6% under presumptive taxation. You have not underreported your turnover. SO you have complied with the provisions of section 44AD. Now if the AO asks about our investments, we can say that we had a turnover of 1 crore, as is declared and we made our investments from the said amount.
Now what exactly do you think the AO will challenge?
I think you are not familiar with presumptive taxation and you are confusing yourself. No law has been broken, no turnover has been under-reported.

I really found this thread and each of yours argument relevant.Keep sharing your views and other on this topic, this year FNO turnover for option sellers have decreased considerably so presumptive taxation is good option. But , yeah its case by case and one need to know all the edge cases and ramification of this scheme.
Keep sharing your thoughts,arguments and articles.
Good read.

Thatās the penalty for concealing your income. So always declare your income rightly.
Why are you worried? You have nothing to worry, if you are on the right side.

Can you please point me to law wording about 44ad on income tax website or some court website - I donāt think it says anywhere that it has to be 6% of turnover or actual profit

and read multiple choice question no. 9
Where income tax dept says - āāincome will be computed on
presumptive basis, i.e. @ 50% of the total gross receipts of the profession. However such person can declare income higher than 50%āā
So it is personās choice - it not mandatory to report higher income.
On this link
if you scroll down -
you will find
Though the PTS provides for taxable income to be 8%/6% of turnover or gross receipts, taxpayers can voluntarily declare a higher income on their tax return.
