This discussion addresses whether a salaried individual who traded currency futures and earned £222,000 can opt for presumptive income under Section 44ADA to save tax. While Section 44AD is mentioned as an option, it comes with a mandatory five-year commitment. Failure to adhere to this can result in tax audit requirements for the remaining years.
