30 January 2022 Hello,

My husband has recently joined an NBFC finance company as a Consultant. He is an MBA and his services are related to Trade Finance and Business Management Consultancy. He has 25+ years of experience in his field.

I have two questions:-
1. Can his profession be classified as a 'Technical Consultancy' under Sec 44 AA (1)? If yes, is he supposed to maintain books of accounts?
2. Is he allowed to take benefit of 50% Presumptive taxation under Sec 44ADA (Code-16013)?

31 January 2022 yes, you can file the return u.s 44ada for fees for rendering technical services. if you opt 44ada, then no need to maintain books of accounts as per the provisions of Section 44ADA.
