44ada error code 89 (notice u/s 139(9)of income tax act)

I am a software professional working from India for an Australian company as contractor. Last year I filed my Income tax under section 44 ADA with NOB as '703 - Consultancy service' 

And now I got a notice (Notice u/s 139(9)of Income Tax Act) from income tax department that its defective.

Do you think that by changing the NOB to '607 - Professional - Others'  would solve the problem  ?

While filling the X M L, its asking 
A22. Return filed under section ? 
Should I select '18 - u/s 139 (9)' or '17 - Revised Return - 139 (5)' ?

A24. "Whether original or revised return?" 
Should I select 'Original' or revised ?

I thought of selecting 18 - u/s 139 (9)  as the notice I got is for 139 (9), but when I select 'Revised' then return filed under section is automatically changed to 17 - Revised Return - 139 (5). 

Could someone shed some light on this?

IT SHOULD provided net profit 50% or more.

"While filling the X M L, its asking  A22. Return filed under section ?  Should I select '18 - u/s 139 (9)' or '17 - Revised Return - 139 (5)' ? A24. "Whether original or revised return?"  Should I select 'Original' or revised ?"

When you accept the defect in the portal and file rectified ITR  as response to the notice..... it should be u/s. 139(9)...... i.e '18 - u/s 139 (9)'......... as Original.

But if you wish to revise it with some more corrections......... then   '17 - Revised Return - 139 (5)' as Revised.....

Hi, I am also ina  similar situation. I am a qualified academic consultant freelancing with a course provider.  Received a notice under sec 139(9) that Sec 44ADA is not applicable. Can I change NOB to '607 - Professional ? 

Also, is the receipt number same as acknowledgement number ? Also, is notice no. same as communication reference number? 

Thanks!

Ans: It may, provided you are professionaly qualified as specified in sec. 44AA, otherwise file the same data u/s. 44AD.

Also, is the receipt number same as acknowledgement number ?

YES. Of Original filed return.

Also, is notice no. same as communication reference number? 

YES

Yes Sir, I am showing my net profit more than 50%.  and I  did with 18 - u/s 139 (9)  as Original. Thank you very much for your reply. 

And my profession comes under 44ADA  ?
 

@ Unnikrishnan........... Do not worry now......... It will get processed with '0607' code.....

God Bless..........

Sir I am a qualified CA CPA, providing academic consultancy and classes for CPA. Also, no other code seems to be applicable.

Please advice. Thanks!

@ Anupama

'0601' better choice......

Thank you Sir.
