ITR for a director of private company

An individual who is a director in a private company also has eligible business u/s 44AD. So which ITR to be submitted? If such individual is a director of a company, it's not allowed to file under ITR-4. So can one file ITR-3 and show presumptive income? If yes please explain briefly how is it possible..? Thanks.

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the Income Tax Return (ITR) filing requirements for individuals who are directors in a private company and also have eligible business income under Section 44AD. It is confirmed that directors cannot file using ITR-4. Instead, they must file using ITR-3. The presumptive income from the eligible business (calculated at 8% of turnover) can be shown in Part A - P&L, item no. 61. Sitting fees received for board meetings should be declared as professional income and included in the P&L.

GTI more than 5lakhs after considering 8% income on a turnover of 25 lakhs from eligible business and other sources around 3 lakhs including sitting fees from the private company

Yes you can show 8% of his turnover

balance sheet No Account Case: In a case where regular books of account of business or profession are not maintained –

Amount of total sundry debtors 6a

Amount of total sundry creditors 6b

Amount of total stock-in-trade 6c

Amount of the cash balance

sitting fees to be shown as professional income show it as a revenue in p& l
