Quick Summary
This discussion addresses a client who received an income tax notice under section 142(1) for AY 2017-18, having previously used the 44AD presumptive tax scheme. The client also failed to file their return for AY 2018-19. Advice suggests filing a response to the 142(1) notice, potentially still utilising the 44AD scheme if applicable, or filing a normal ITR with accounts if the 44AD deadline has passed for AY 2018-19. Prompt action is crucial to avoid ex-parte assessment.
The notice received is 142(1) .So the reply must be unresponse to 142(1) and also file under 44AD if it permits since you opted for presumptive taxation for earlier year
