Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Under Section 44AE of the Income-tax Act, 1961 as applicable for Assessment Year 2013-14, presumptive income was Rs. 5,000 per month (or part of a month) per heavy goods vehicle and Rs. 4,500 per month per other goods carriage: 2 heavy trollas held for 12 months give 2×12×5,000=Rs. 1,20,0002 \times 12 \times 5{,}000 = \text{Rs. } 1{,}20{,}000; 2 heavy trollas held for 2 months (April and May 2012) give 2×2×5,000=Rs. 20,0002 \times 2 \times 5{,}000 = \text{Rs. } 20{,}000; and 5 other trucks held for 12 months give 5×12×4,500=Rs. 2,70,0005 \times 12 \times 4{,}500 = \text{Rs. } 2{,}70{,}000. Total presumptive profit is 1,20,000+20,000+2,70,000=Rs. 4,10,0001{,}20{,}000 + 20{,}000 + 2{,}70{,}000 = \text{Rs. } 4{,}10{,}000, as operating expenses and depreciation are deemed already allowed.
