26 July 2019 If we choose 44-AD this year for ITR-5 for the Ay 19-20, whether we will have to continue 44-AD for the next five years i.e. upto Ay 23-24 ?

26 July 2019 No its not mandatory but in next AY if you choose normal taxpayer instead of Presumptive, then in subsequent years (remaining 5 years block) again you cannot adopt 44AD.

Hope reply will satisfy your query.
