Dear Experts, Please clear this doubt.An Individual does not owns any vehicle but carries on transport business i.e., he receives freight from companies and pays freight to the Lorry owner after deducting his service charges.Now my question is whether i can file his return on presumptive income basis u/s 44ad showing income as 8% of gross receipts.

44AE (read with 44AD for tax%) cleary states "assess, who owns...." ; ownership means the registration of the vehicle on the assessees name.
Your query should come under Business income with normal computation methodology, sicne the individual does not own the vehicles, hence deeming prov doesnt apply.
