is the provision of section 44ad(4) i.e. declare profit for the five assessment year, also applicable on 44ADA? If one person files a return under section 44ADA for the financial year 2018-19 and opt-out from 44ADA for the financial year 2019-20 and files ITR 3 (maintenance of books of accounts.) Can he file a return again under section 44ADA for the financial year 2020-21? Kindly clarify.
