You can for AY 2024-2025 or thereafter.

Thanks for the reply . But which section 44ADA or 44AD ?  

 

in 44ADA   Creative services professional is not covered under list of specified professions :  So my query is  :                                                                                                                                   1. Can this person go under 44AD ?                                                                                               2. is there any way to fit him under 44ADA.

Soumya - what is the Profession code you use for filing returns for this person in earlier AYs?

Yes he can get the benefit , but not prior to this assessment year
Hello Nikhil . Actually this person was salaried employee in FY 2023-24 from April 24 onwards he has been shifted to be a consultant. The co, he works is a Media / Ad company . and he is a creative person .

got it. as long as the gross receipts remain below 75 lakhs, you may go for 44ADA in this case. But please ensure that the person complies with GST. He should be liable for GST registration by the end of July (assuming that this revenue is evenly spread).

Some people may argue that he may be eligible for 44AD. If you go with that, please ensure that you are covered under the business codes provided under 44AD.
