Hi,

During the current FY 2021-22, I was employed as a full time employee for 8 months (company provided form 16) and for remaining 4 months I got employed as an IT consultant with another company , and received consolidated monthly remuneration after 10% TDS deduction. This company gave me form 16A. Since I am 60 years old and retired from previous company I am working as a consultant now (IT consultant).

My questions are:

1) Do I need to file two ITR's ? i.e ITR 1 and ITR 3 or 4 ?

2) If yes for the consultant income am i eligible under section 44ADA?

3) I have not maintained any books, so could I file under presumptive income category ?

4) Could I claim the TDS deducted ?

Kindly provide me a quick response as I have to file the return before July 31st and I am now abroad , on vacation and will return only after Sept 1st back to India. I am resident Indian.

Regards

Ram

1) No, you can not fill two ITR.
2) Yes, you are eligible u/s 44ADA.
3) IT is not a problems, because as per your bank statement it is clearly finding out your total receipt, but if you receipt your Consultant’s fees in mode of cash then approximately figures is considered.
4) Yes

Thanks all the CA who have responded. It helps in my understanding. One final query :

1) should I file using ITR 1 or ITR 4 ? Which of these has option to add both type of income ?

2) could any one assist me in filing my returns this year, as I am currently abroad on vacation and I don't want to delay. I need some tax savings also.
