Presumptive taxation does not permit enhancement of declared business profit merely by applying average profit margins from preceding years. Although the Assessing Officer may examine a claim under the presumptive taxation regime, any challenge must rest on adverse material. A taxpayer declaring income under that regime is not required to maintain books of account solely for that reason, and a stated decline in profit margin cannot be rejected without material disproving the explanation. The Tribunal's majority view found the adopted net-profit rate unjustified and allowed the taxpayer's appeal.
