08 May 2023 please advise are Merchant navy officers / marine engineer falls under the specified professionals as per India’s income tax law.

Please clarify above query considering
1. Marine Engineers sailing on Indian Flagged Vessels (as they receive form 16A from companies) and

2. Marine Engineers sailing on Foreign Flagged vessel (as they don’t receive form 16A from companies) in case they have not achieved NRI status.

For computation of Income tax under Section 44ADA

08 May 2023 1 Section 192 TDS deducted they can't claim 44ADA. In case of 194J TDS deducted they can claim 44ADA.
2 Salary received can't be claimed under 44ADA.
Professional fees received can be claimed under 44ADA. See the salary slip.
