Quick Summary
This discussion addresses a client's income tax query regarding the applicability of Section 44AD for Assessment Year 2019-20 and 2020-21. The core issue is whether the client can opt for Section 44AD when they have commission and trading income, and if this impacts the ability to switch to normal business filing in subsequent years. Experts debate the implications of Section 44AD(4), particularly concerning the five-year restriction on opting back in if the assessee fails to comply with Section 44AD(1) provisions.

Once you opt for  U/s 44ad you can not change for five years. Commission & Trading income in not any issue in that. Only your turnover exceed above 2cr then you are allowed to change to normal filling.

No vipin ji pls read section carefully because section 44ad(4) applicable when assessee not comply with provision of sec 44ad(1) in any succeeding five year and in this case 44ad(1) not applicable due to eligible business
You can't opt for 44AD for AY-2019-20 since there is commission income.

This leads to loss of benefit of 44AD for next 5 years .

If you opt 44AD , you have to continue for 5 years but if unable to continue then there will be 5 years bar to opt again for 44AD
@ Mr Deepak KUMAR.,
