i know that professionals specified under section 44AA are not eligible to opt section 44AD presumtive taxation and file ITR-4S instread of ITR-4.
i need clarification whether following incomes/clients are eligible to opt for sec 44AD assuming that their turnover is less than the limit for tax audit.
1. lic agent ( commission income so cannot opt for 44AD) 2. civil contractor with material ( can opt) 3. civil contractor (only labour)( can opt) 4. estate agents ( no. as per fin act 2011 commission income) 5. tax consultants ( yes) 6. beauty parlour ( yes) 7. interior decorator ( no as per fin act 2011) 8. accountants (yes)

Presumptive option is not applicable to cases referred in clause 1,2,3,4 . Please refer section 44AD (6) (ii) and (iii). As per ICAI guidelines 'interior decorators' comes under 'profession', hence presumptive option can't be availed.
