44AD RELATED QUESTIONS

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

A client in the event management and fabrication stall business received significant income under TDS sections 194C and 194JB. The core question is whether this income can be declared under presumptive taxation scheme 44AD using ITR-4. Advice suggests that income taxed under 194JB (professional income) should not be included under 194C and requires filing ITR-3, not ITR-4. Tax audit requirements are also discussed, with online transactions potentially avoiding the need for it.

06 October 2025 Payments covered by 194JB (at 10% TDS) are NOT to be included as “work contracts” under 194C, especially after the 2024 amendment.
Professional income under TDS 194JB is taxed as normal profession income, eligible for deduction of business expenses, and the TDS deducted is available as credit against the tax payable. File ITR 3.
