Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the correct Income Tax Return (ITR) form to file based on your income sources. If you initially filed ITR1 for AY18-19 because you had no business income, but now have business income, you can switch to ITR4. ITR1 is for salary, house property, and other sources up to £50 lakh, while ITR4 is for business income. It also explains the five-year restriction for Section 44AD: if you don't file under this section for five consecutive years, you become ineligible for the next five years.
ITR 1 stands for salary, House property, other sources etc upto 50lakh ITR4 stands for Business Income, Soo based on your Income, you are totally free to file ITR 4 as such there is no restriction.
An eligible assessee claims to be taxed on presumptive basis under section 44AD for Assessment Year 2017-18 and offers income of Rs. 8 lakh on the turnover of Rs. 1 crore. For Assessment Year 2018-19 and Assessment Year 2019-20 also he offers income in accordance with the provisions of section 44AD. However, for Assessment Year 2020-21, he offers income of Rs.4 lakh on turnover of Rs. 1 crore. In this case since he has not offered income in accordance with the provisions of section 44AD for five consecutive assessment years, after Assessment Year 2017-18, he will not be eligible to claim the benefit of section 44AD for next five assessment years i.e. from Assessment Year 2021-22 to 2025-26.
So, in simply if you not file return u/s 44AD for consecutive 5 year, than from the year you not filed u/s 44AD.. you can not adopt 44AD for next five years.
