24 July 2021 Yes, he may opt for 44ADA in respect of professional income even if he is earning salary in addition. Profit @6% in case of no-cash transactions.

Somebody told me that for presemptive income ,gross receipts should not be more than 50 lakhs but here gross receipts is more than 50 lakh . Kindly advise

24 July 2021 By spending, if you mean spend money out of the income that has already been earned, there is no such requirement. Income earned will be taxed, whether the balance money is spent or not is irrelevant for this purpose.
W.r.t. to gross receipts, you are right. To avail 44ADA, 50 lacs turnover/receipts is the limit but this does not include salary income. In your case, professional income is 42 lacs and hence you may opt for 44ADA.
