Professions notified under Section 44AA of Income Tax Act

Dear All,

Greetings of the day!!

At the outset, I would like to say 'All the best' to all my dear friends whose result is going to come today.

Further, can anybody help me by providing a list of professions being notified by the Central Board of Direct Taxes for the purpose of Section 44AA of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

Looking forward for your positive and quick response.

Thanking you all in anticipation,

With Warm Regards,
