It is valid but you have to opt for presumptive taxation u/s 44AD for consecutive 5 years until and unless your turnover exceeds threshold limit of 2 crore.

He cannot opt for 44AD now. Pl see second proviso to section 44AB and Section 44AD(4).

If you are opting for the presumptive scheme, you must-

a. File presumptive scheme for at least 5 years in continuation.

b. If you decide to show and file profits as per regular business before the end of these 5 years, you will lose presumptive benefits and disallowed from presumptive taxation for the subsequent 5 years.

Please note that 5 years shall be counted starting the year in which you first file usual taxes for such business. The government is discouraging taxpayers from misusing the scheme and constantly changing their option often. So if you opt for presumptive continue for 5 years and if you want to opt out, you’ll be barred from resuming presumptive for a period of 5 years.
