I have been showing income u/s 44AD since 17-18, but i haven't shown income from business in AY21-22 & again started showing income u/s 44AD from AY22-23.
So, my query is whether I am liable to show income u/s 44AD until next 5 yrs, or is this the last year for 44AD?

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the rules surrounding presumptive taxation under Section 44AD of the Income Tax Act. It addresses a user's query about continuing with 44AD after a break in filing, explaining that while a break doesn't prevent future use, filing for the current year is mandatory to avoid a tax audit. The conversation also touches upon how profits taxed under presumptive schemes in a partnership are tax-free when distributed to partners.
As said earlier, you are not required to continue it till next 5 years, but filing u/s. 44AD is mandatory for current year, otherwise tax audit will be applicable.
