Where the assessee firm is running a multi speciality hospital where doctors are providing consultancy services, the same will be covered under business activity and not treated as profession. Therefore, limit will accordingly be Rs.1 crore as per the provisions of section 44AB. You may refer to the decision of Dr Deepak Asudani vs. ITO 26 DTR 454 (Del)
