Income from business is computed using a proforma that starts with net profit as per profit and loss account, adds inadmissible expenses (such as income tax paid, charity, household expenses, loss on sale of motor car, life insurance premium, interest on capital, provision for bad debts, and salary to proprietor), subtracts incomes to be shown under other heads (rent received, interest from bank, dividend received, refund of income tax), and finally deducts depreciation, sales tax paid, and excise duty to arrive at the final income from business.

The moment you see the question first look at net profit. Okay just look at net profit and whatever the value they have given you as net profit you have to mention the value here as net profit as per PNL account. Okay, first note it down this net profit value. After that just look at these things which things we need to take in the proarma and which things we need to ignore. Do we take salary guys?
No, we don't take salary. Do we take telephone expenses? No, we don't take telephone expenses. Do we take repairs?
No, we don't take repairs. But if you have a look at additional information, they have clearly stated repairs included in capital expenditure 12,500.
Current year repairs 5,500. Clearly they have said that it includes in capital expenditure right how much is the amount 12,500 because they gave us in the additional information we are going to take that value I just mentioned repair capital expenditure 12,500 just ignore this 5,500 okay after that come to legal expenses do we take legal expenses no motor car expenses no but if they give you loss on sale of motor car you have to take but if you if they gave you motor car expense you should not take.
Do we take income tax? Yes, we need to take income tax. How we are going to take income tax? Just mention income tax. How much is the amount guys?

After that we have security transaction tax. Yes, we need to take this. Then we have provision for taxation. Both you have to take security transaction tax. How much is the amount? It is 6,000.
Provision for taxation.
How much is the amount? Amount is 3,000.
The same amount you have to take. Then we have interest on loan. Guys, do we take interest on loan?
If you see in the additional information, they have mentioned interest paid on loan for purchase of machinery. You have to take this. How much it is? It is 12,000. Okay, let me mention interest paid on loan of machinery. Okay, mention it clearly. I just said M. How much is the amount guys? It is 12,000 right?
Interest on loan 12,000. Just take 12,000. Okay. After this just go to next. Do we take bad debts? No, you should not take bad debts. But you can take provision. Provisions for bad debts. Provision for bad debts how much it how much it is? 8,600.
So let me write it. Provision for BD. I'm writing bad debts but you have to write it completely 8,600 then depreciation definitely you have to take this depreciation here itself how much is the amount depreciation how much it is it is 45,000 next general expenditure no we should not take general expenditure but you see in the additional information they have said general expenditure included 15,000 paid as penalty for violation of income tax rules additional information right so let me write it penalty how much it is it is 15,000 okay we are done then come to this side by income from house property income these are expenses that's the reason we took took it here. But if we talk about income now, we are going to take income things under income to be shown on other overheads. Oh is nothing but other overheads or other heads we can say.
Okay, other heads not overheads other heads. So yes what we are going to take this one by income from house property gross profit just ignore okay net profit only we will be considering income income from house property how much is the amount guys it is 6,000 just take 6,000 next profit on sale of land take it profit on sale of land.

It is 1,000, guys. 1,000. Done. Do we take bad debts recovered? No, we should not take bad debts recovered. We are done with this profit and loss account. Okay.
Now you have to check additional information whether you have taken all the things or not because as I already said you whatever they are giving in the additional information that should be also taken down. We have taken this interest paid uh on loan from purchase of machinery then we have took this as per the income tax act allowable depreciation if they give depreciation in the additional information that should be considered as deduction. Okay.
So just write depreciation here.
Depreciation.
How much is the amount guys? It is 30,000. Done. Yes. Then repairs we took.
Then they also gave us proprietor salary included uh in salary 25,000. It is also expense, right? So write it here.
Proprier salary here. It is 25,000. Simple. Okay.
Note down all the things. Then general expenditure as penalty we already took.
So we are done. Now we have to do the calculation part. How we are going to do the calculation part? I think it's looking messy but you have to do it correctly in the examination. Okay. So you have to add all these amounts and you have to take the total here. Okay.
Amounts add 12,500 + 10,000 + 6,000 3,000 12,000 8,600 45,000 15,000 25 How much it is? It is 137 1 is may add 5 lakhs 32,400 5 lakhs 32,400 how much it is it is 669500 69500 it has been clearly mentioned right here add so don't get confused sometimes you might get confused but don't get confused you have to add add all these you will be getting this total Okay, let me recheck again.
Check option checkal 6695.
After that what you need to do guys amount deduct just add all these first let us just take amount 669500 that's what right yeah - 6,000 - 70,000 - 1,000 925 so let me take 9 250.
Now minus this amount from this 59 2500 minus 30,000. It is 56 250.
This is our answer which is nothing but income. Sorry, this is our answer which is nothing but income from business.
This is the way how you are going to do this guys. Here we have our another question.

Legal expenses we will not take it. But additional information has also been given. Here they have said in legal expenses 60% of expenses are incurred per personal cases. So definitely personal expense you will be taking right. So whatever the amount they have given here legal expense 60% okay like this amount given and do it 60% whatever the amount you are getting you have to take that amount here okay after that do we take motor car expenses? No we will not take motor car expenses. But if you see in the additional information 50% has spent for personal purpose.
