A person is in his professional business of teaching college students - tuition class. I would like to know whether section 44AD or 44AE can be considered in this case or not.

I am not in favour of filing return U/s 44AD in your case. However, you may take decision after going through the points discussed hereunder
*
Even though most of the teachers have made teaching as a business yet this is called the most respectable and noble profession.
*
Further it can easily be said as a vocation and profession has been defined as "profession includes vocation".
*
Hence, even if Teaching Profession has not been included in the specified professions still it can be treated as vocation and therefore I advise to treat this as a profession. As such Prepare Income & Expenditure A/c for this Income and file return in ITR-4.
