This discussion clarifies the rules around Section 44AD of the Income Tax Act. If you previously used 44AD for business income but now only have salary income and file ITR-1, you haven't broken the 44AD rules. This means you can still opt for 44AD in future years if you resume business activities.

You don't have business income in AY 23-24 so in such a case you are not breaking 44AD rules. If in next year you have business income you can opt for 44AD.
