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
