Remuneration from Partnership Firm - 44AD, Income Tax

[NIKITA JAIN]

Remuneration from Partnership Firm is taxed under the Head Income From Business or Profession by virtue of Section 28 & Section 44AD allows to show Income under the Head Income from Business or Profession @ 8% of Gross Receipts/Turnover. So can I apply the same 8%, on Remuneration or Interest from Partnership Firm and file my returns?

For Eg: If my Remuneration from Partnership Firm is Rs,12,00,000 and Interst on Capital received is Rs,10,00,000 can I compute 8% on 22,00,000 (Interest & Remuneration) and show my Income as Rs,1,76,000.

If Not, then which Section or Rule stops me from doing the same?

Refer to decision in MR. A. ANANDKUMAR VERSUS ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER OF INCOME TAX, CIRCLE-2, SALEM =  2019 (2) TMI 165 - ITAT CHENNAI which denies such treatment.
