Presumptive taxation for salary and professional income

If my gross income is more than 50Lakhs but income speratly from salary and professional income is less than 50Lakhs, Can I still avail presumative Taxation for my freelancing income?
Eg. My salary income is 40Lakhs and freelancing income is 17Lakhs. Still can I make my total Taxable Income as 48.5Lakhs?
Thanks

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether an individual with a salary income exceeding 50 Lakhs can still avail presumptive taxation for their freelancing income under Section 44ADA. The consensus is that if the gross receipts from freelancing alone are below 50 Lakhs and the profession is specified under Section 44AA, presumptive taxation can be applied to the freelancing income, regardless of total gross income from all sources.

What is your profession ?. It should be as per section 44AA of the Income Tax act .

I work as a engineering professional. 

Yes, You are eligible to show your freelancing income under sec 44ADA as engineering profession is a specified profession as per Sec 44AA.

@ Ramaraju G

But his total gross receipts exceeds 50 lac , and as per ,44ADA total receipts should be less than 50 lac .

That includes salary income as he mentioned in the query. but here receipts from freelancing only need to consider.

44ADA is applicable as income is 17 Lakhs rupees
He has to offer atleast 50% of 17 lacs as his income under 44ada
Yes you can show 48.5 lacs
