REGARDING VIOLATION OF 44AD BLOCK PERIOD VIOLATION

This query is : Resolved

21 July 2025 I have received a notice under section 148 of the Income Tax Act, requiring me to file a return of income. I would like to clarify the following:

In the assessment year preceding the year under notice, my income was subject to a tax audit (i.e., books of accounts were audited under section 44AB). However, in the year prior to that, I had filed the return under the presumptive taxation scheme u/s 44AD.

Considering this, I understand that a tax audit in one year leads to a block period of five years during which the taxpayer cannot opt for 44AD if it was discontinued after having opted for it.

My queries are:

Can I opt for section 44AD again during this block period after having undergone a tax audit in the immediate preceding year?

What are the implications or consequences if I still choose to file under section 44AD during the block period?

Kindly advise on the correct approach in this scenario.

21 July 2025 1. No. Once opted out of sec. 44AD you are liable for tax audit for next five years.
2. Will be rejected.
