A Business Journalist is providing editorial service to his client by editing business news and articles of interest to client's business. He is computing business income under section 44AD since editing is not part of any specified profession under 144AA. Client is deducting TDS under 194JB. His past ITR have been processed by CPC under 143(1). Can AO take a view that he should have computed income under 44ADA and issue notice under 143(2) for AY 2026-27, which return has not been processed yet, and notice under 147 for past 3 years?

Sir,

I have a client with the following facts:

* Trading turnover: ₹12,10,000
* Business income is being offered under Section 44AD at ₹4,00,000.
* The assessee is also engaged in money lending and has earned interest income of ₹2,00,000.
* No books of account are maintained.

My query is:

1. Can the money lending interest of ₹2,00,000 be offered under **"Income from Other Sources"** while declaring the trading business income under **Section 44AD** in **ITR-4**?

2. Or, should the return be filed in **ITR-3**, selecting **"No books of account maintained"**, with trading income under **Section 44AD** and the money lending interest offered under the head **"Income from Other Sources"**?

3. Which approach is legally more appropriate and safer during scrutiny?

Sir I've filed original ITR4 on 25/06/26.But due to Exempt income disclosure menu I've to revise it on 02/07/26 for exempt income of ppf interest and ITD tax refund as....
1)Other income_Sub category_"Exempt as per CBDT notification"_Description-PPF interest on 31/03/26[section(11)]_Amount
2)Other income_Sub category_"Receipt not in the nature of income"_Description-"ITD tax refund AY2025-26 "-Amount.
Is it wrong sir?Upto previous year these were shown as exempt as Other Income with description only(No sub category).But from this year sub category is given and it is not clear for PPF interest.
As I've revised my iter in this way will ITD process my return?Inspite I've to again revise my itr.Please guide sir🙏🙏🙏.I've refund more than 50K and not processing for last 15 days of revised return.🙏🙏🙏🙏

Hi Sir/Ma'am
We have a query regarding the filing of the Income Tax Return for a partnership firm.

The firm had been filing ITR-4 under the presumptive taxation scheme under Section 44AD in the earlier years. However, during the current financial year, the firm has no business income. While preparing the return, the Income Tax portal is prompting us to switch the return form from ITR-4 to ITR-5.

In this scenario, should we switch to ITR-5, or should we continue filing ITR-4 by offering a notional presumptive income, considering that the presumptive taxation provisions under Section 44AD are generally expected to be followed for the prescribed period once opted?

We would appreciate your guidance on the correct course of action.

A completely new garden has been laid out in place of the old one in front of the school building. Should the expenditure incurred on this garden be treated as capital expenditure, and under which head in the accounts should it be recorded?

can set off of losses under other heads of income against business income arrived at using presumptive income scheme is not allowed under new Act? Is rebate under section 156 of 2025 Act will not apply to tax on income declared under presumptive scheme, just like capital gains are excluded?

I am opting for presumptive taxation mode in ITR-3. I am getting the following error in the final validation step.

So what to do? Do I have to made entries as suggested or just upload by neglecting?
