Quick Summary
You may fill ITR-3 OR ITR-4 based on turnover
Am I eligible for Presumptive taxation?
How much is your turnover ?
My turnover is, 14 Lakh/ year approx.
Then you may file ITR under presumptive Taxation with 50% profit
In the official ITR 4 Sugam, I found they mentioned that under section
Who is not eligible to use this Return Form
A. This Return Form should not be used by a person who –
(a) is a Director in a company;
(b) has held any unlisted equity shares at any time during the previous year;
(c) has any asset (including financial interest in any entity) located outside India;
(d) has signing authority in any account located outside India; or
(e) has income from any source outside India
After reading (d) and (e) I am confused wether I can fill ITR 4 ?
Does the client sending money as a fee for my IT(Software) Service will be considered as under (e)
Fill ITR-3 and pay tax after deducting expenses
If it is presumptive taxation it's sec 44AD
44AD is not applicable to service sector
