This discussion clarifies whether an individual can file their tax return using ITR 4 under section 44ADA when TDS has been deducted under sections 194H and 194JB. The consensus is that it's possible if the commission income (194H) is declared under 'Income From Other Sources' (IFOS) and the professional services qualify for 44ADA. If not, filing ITR 3 with maintained books of accounts would be necessary.

Most likely yes, provided income under TDS 194H can be declared under head IFOS, while you are providing services as specified u/s. 44AA(1)...

IFOS... is short term for 'Income From Other Sources'... As you are having commission income as well as professional income, you can file ITR4 for presumptive assessment u/s. 44ADA, (provided eligible); along with commission income under IFOS. Otherwise you need to file ITR 3 with books of account maintained.
