I'm a Android (Mobile) Developer doing freelancing for side income. Do i fall under "IT professional" in section 44ADA? 44ADA doesn't specifically mentions my profession so I'm confused whether am i eligible.
in case, NO, My profit margin is 60%(since it's my service rather than a trade), so shall i file my incometax u/ section44AD? (if 44ADA not applicable to me)
