This discussion clarifies the applicability of Section 44AD for partnership firms operating hospitals. Generally, Section 44AD applies to hospitals. If all partners are professionals, Section 44ADA may be applicable. However, if even one partner is non-professional, Section 44AD could apply, provided gross receipts are within the specified limits. Exceeding these limits necessitates compliance with Sections 44AA and 44AB, requiring account maintenance and audits.
