The assesse had filed return for the F.Y 2018-19 by opting presumptive basis u/s 44AD. However, in the F.Y 2019-20, the assesse's turnover crossed Rs.  2 Crore and could not file return opting presumptive basis as he became ineligible. Can the assesse, again opt for filing return u/s 44AD if the turnover is less than Rs. 2 crore during the F.Y. 2020-21 as he did not voluntarily opt out of presumptive basis in the F.Y 2019-20?
