14 March 2018 Hi Experts,
Please advise if Sec 44AA(1) covers retainership fees earned by an individual from a company. Earlier the individual was an employee of a company. After retirement, as per company policy, the individual is treated as full time consultant (Retainer) and a fixed amount of Rs. 100000 p.m. is paid. I just want to know if he can take benefit of section 44ADA (Presumptive Taxation).
Thanking you in anticipation

14 March 2018 applicability of 44ADA is dependent on the tax payer's profession. mere retainership is not sufficient for 44ADA presumptive taxation
