23 April 2017 Dear Sir,
Section 44 ADA which has been inserted from A.Y. 2017-18. In this section if a Doctor whose income from Profession and salary is Rs. 25.00 Lacs and net profit is 50% after deduction of expenses say travelling, tea and tiffin, depreciation on motor car etc. So can he avail the benefit of Sec 44 ADA and file ITR 4 (Sugam) for A.Y. 2017-18 and whether he is not required to maintain books of accounts.

Thanks,
Abhishek.

25 April 2017 Dear Sir,
The Assesse's salary income has not been taken into account while computing income and expenditure. His Professional income is Rs. 25.00 Lacs and net profit after deducting all expenses is more than 50%. So please tell whether he is eligible under section 44 ADA and can he file ITR 4 (Sugam) for A.Y. 2017-18.

Thanks,
Abhishek.

23 October 2021 No. Salary income will not get clubbed into professional income. It can be declared under salary income head separately, under ITR 4(Sugam) ....... recently changed to ITR4.
