Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether an assessee owning more than 10 goods carriage vehicles, who is eligible for presumptive taxation under Section 44AE, can also opt for Section 44AD. The consensus is that you cannot claim both. Section 44AE is specifically for businesses involving goods carriages, making it mutually exclusive with Section 44AD, which excludes businesses covered under 44AE.

44AE should be applicable
According to my opinion,
No you can not opt for 44AD , as Both sections are mutually exclusive
But section 44AE does not contain any provision relating 44D... it only says if you show lower income then you have to get your books audited under sec 44AA...
Refer Explanation (b) to section 44 AD it provides that eligible business means all business except business specified u/s 44AE
Okk....now understand ....

thank you soo much
44AE is a specific section for a specified business. So 44AD can't be used.
In case of vehicle carries section 44ae is applicable
No you can't opt 44AD
