Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether income from a rented commercial vehicle can be declared under Section 44AE of the Income Tax Act. The consensus is that Section 44AE specifically applies to owners of commercial vehicles. Therefore, if you lease or rent a vehicle, you cannot use Section 44AE for presumptive taxation. Instead, income derived from such rentals should typically be declared under 'Income from Other Sources' or taxed at regular slab rates.

No because he has not own vehicle
But sir took vehicle on rent /rental agreement ,and as of my info it comes under 44 ae?income from transportation ,
now point is whether its mandatory to own vehicle or not?
44AE applies when you own the vehicle and not when it is rented.
Can u share reference or act with this regard @ Roshni mam?🙏

Yes if any assessee wants to opt to disclose it's income during the financial then applicabilty of such section requires owning of vehicles, so assessee who has taken vehicle on rent then assessee can not opt Section 44AE to disclose its's income under presumption shceme, and regular slab rate shall be applicable shall be applicable

@ ramesh Patel read section 44AE itself...your I'll get the clear picture.

Such rental Income could be shown under 'Income from Other Sources'
