Section 44AD for two different business

If any assessee has two businesses and has the turnover from two different businesses as under:

1. Business -1: Rs. 25,00,000

2. Business-2: Rs. 1,85,00,000

Total Rs. 2,10,00,000

It is assumed that the cash receipts and payments for the above two businesses are less than 5% of total receipts and payments, hence the Tax Audit limit is Rs. 10 Crores.

The total turnover of the assessee is greater than Rs. 2 Crores.

Will he be eligible to opt for Section 44AD for Business-2 and file Income as per regular provisions for Business-1? (As turnover is less than Rs. 2 Crores for both two different businesses)

 Note: The presumptive taxation scheme of section 44AD can be opted by the eligible persons if the total turnover or gross receipts from the business do not exceed Rs. 2,00,00,000.

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses whether an individual with two businesses, each below the Rs. 2 crore turnover limit but with an aggregate turnover exceeding it, can opt for Section 44AD for one business. For AY 2023-24, eligibility is based on aggregate turnover, meaning Section 44AD cannot be used. However, from AY 2024-25, with the increased limit to Rs. 3 crore under the new tax regime, this may become possible.

No, not eligible for AY 2023-24. The eligibility is calculated based on aggregate turnover of all businesses.

From AY 2024-25, you will be able to file under sec. 44AD, as the limit gets exceeded to 3 Crs, under new tax regime.
