09 November 2017 I am a engineer and i recently shifted my job to a new company. My new company is a Indian subsidiary of a company registered in Saudi Arabia. My salary is deposited to bank account by parent company at Saudi. In deposit challan which is used to transfer money from Saudi bank to Indian bank, it is mentioned as service charge.
Since the money is directly deposited to my account and not routed through the subsidiary company in India, there is no TDS/advance tax deducted.
Please advise how should i file the ITR. Can i consider my self as professional and make use of Sec. 44ADA.

Please note that I have an appointment order from this Indian subsidiary company on contract basis.

Thanks in advance expecting valuable advises from the members.

09 November 2017 Since you have mentioned as you have been appointed as on contract basis, i presume that your service to a company is on independent basis and not under control of company like full time employees.
In such a case, you're doing a professional service and its very much fall u/s 44ADA.
Any other views are welcome!
