One of my friend has been filing IT return using ITR 4 for the FY 2018 - 19 and 2019 - 20 and filed IT return using ITR 3 for the FY 2020 - 21. Now, can he use ITR 4 to file his return for the current FY ( 2021 - 22) ? What will be the consequences, if he switch overs from ITR 3 to ITR 4 now ?

If he is eligible to file ITR under presumptive assessment, he can file belated return for current year in form ITR 4. If he is opting for sec. 44AD for business income declaration, then he should continue to same regime for next five years, otherwise audit liability may get attracted.
