44ADA or 44AD for App Store app sales (194O TDS) and client software development work?

113 views 2 replies

I am a sole proprietor and was filing under Section 44ADA last year.

This year I have:

  • Client-based software development income (about 25%)
  • App store income (about 75%) where TDS is deducted under Section 194O

My question is:

Should I:

  • Continue using Section 44ADA for the client service income, and
  • Use Section 44AD for the app store income?

Or should I use only one section for the entire income?

Please advise the correct approach.

👉 Use 44ADA for client services + 44AD for app store income — both together is correct.

Thank you for your guidance.

I have one follow-up question:

For client software development under 44ADA, I understand 14001 – Software Development is appropriate.

For app store income under 44AD (with 194O TDS), which code should I use:

  • 14004 – Database activities and distribution of electronic content, or
  • 09028 – Retail sale of other products n.e.c.?

Or should I use a single code for both?

Please advise.
