"How many years can I file my ITR U/s 44AD as Presumptive Scheme...? Any limit or Conditions apply..?"
No conditions for continuously declaring profits u/s. 44AD...........
But there is condition, if an assessee doesn't declare it for any one year (before completing five years)
For example:
An eligible assessee claims to be taxed on presumptive basis under section 44AD for Assessment Year 2017-18 and offers income of Rs. 8 lakh on the turnover of Rs. 1 crore
For Assessment Year 2018-19 and Assessment Year 2019-20 also he offers income in accordance with the provisions of section 44AD.
However, for Assessment Year 2020-21, he offers income of Rs.4 lakh on turnover of Rs. 1 crore. In this case since he has not offered income in accordance with the provisions of section 44AD for five consecutive assessment years, after Assessment Year 2017-18, he will not be eligible to claim the benefit of section 44AD for next five assessment years i.e. from Assessment Year 2021-22 to 2025-26.
Many of our clients prefer and have been declaring their gains u/s. 44AD for last 9 years (for civil construction from the implementation of the section). The same was extended to retailers from AY 2011-12.
