Presumptive Tax Calculator

Tax on deemed profit for small businesses and professionals under s.44AD and s.44ADA, with the single 15 March advance-tax instalment

Receipts and income

Your work

₹30.00 lakh

Cash and bearer cheques.

Within 5% of the total, the limit rises to ₹75 lakh.

Leave at 0 to use the deemed profit. A lower figure needs books and, above the exemption limit, an audit.

Old regime only, each within its own limit.

For example 10% under s.194J on professional fees. Advance tax is due on the tax less this.
