Can an individual liable to maintain accounts opt for Presumptive Taxation?

Dear Experts,
An individual trader is liable to maintain books of accounts as per section 44AA(2) if his turnover or profit exceeds the prescribed limit. If he is liable to maintain so, can he furnish his return of income through ITR-4?

Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether an individual trader, who is obligated to maintain books of accounts due to exceeding turnover or profit limits, can still opt for presumptive taxation under Section 44AD. It clarifies that eligibility for presumptive taxation and filing through ITR-4 depends on meeting the criteria of Section 44AD and not being subject to specific exclusions.

Unless provision of subsection (4) section 44AD, applicable; and if he is eligible assessee as per section 44AD; he can take advantage of presumptive assessment u/s. 44AD

If the trader is opted for presumptive taxation u/s 44AD then he can file ITR 4

In protest against ADMIN for its discriminatory behavior among different members, I leave the portal permanently.  Good Bye.
