Fitness training 44AD or 44ADA

I have a basic doubt regarding the nature of work my client is doing. She is a Zumba Fitness trainer, giving online fitness training classes to people. She has earned approximately 14 Lacs during FY 2020-2021. She doesn't maintain any books of accounts. I wish to offer the same under presumptive taxation but I am confused about the nature of the work - whether it is a profession or business i.e. whether it should be offered under Sec 44AD or Sec 44ADA. Please advise. If possible, please mention the code under which it is to be offered.

Thanks 😊

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether a Zumba fitness trainer's income should be declared under Section 44AD or 44ADA of the Income Tax Act. While fitness training is considered a profession, it's not a specifically listed profession for 44ADA. The consensus is that it can be offered under 44AD by selecting 'other professional services n.e.c.' and declaring 40% of the income, which is permissible.

It comes under profession but you can not adopt 44ADA as it is not a specified profession as per sec 44AA.

What if I choose "other professional services n.e.c - 16019" under 44AD and offer 40% income.?

You can do so and there will be no problem
