This discussion clarifies how doctors can declare their income. Generally, a doctor's consulting fees fall under Section 44ADA of the Income Tax Act. If a doctor also sells medicine, this income cannot be declared under Section 44AD if they are considered a professional under Section 44AA. Instead, medicine sales would typically require a normal assessment, while professional services can still be declared under 44ADA.
