Relevant ITR form to file IT return

This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
A pensioner who also runs a proprietary business and previously filed using ITR 4 has sold a property, incurring a long-term capital gain. They are seeking advice on whether they can now file using ITR 3 for the current financial year and if they can switch back to ITR 4 in subsequent years. The advice confirms that filing with ITR 3 is permissible, even while continuing to declare business income under Section 44AD, and that reverting to ITR 4 in the future is also possible.
