The assessee has declared his income last year and filed form ITR 3 as there was a business income declared U/s.44ADA. He has GST number also. However, in last financial year (2023-24 AY: 2024-25), he does not have any business income. His income comprises of bank interest and long term Capital Gain. Which form he has to use ITR 2 or ITR 3? As old regime is beneficial to him, question is can he file ITR 2 where opting for Old regime is simply by selecting while filing return? Or he has to file form 10-IEA and ITR return 3?

Thank you Sir. Could you please guide me what will happen to his status next year? Whether he can continue filing his return U/s. 44AD/44ADA if there is Business or Profession Income next year? Or he will be considered to be opted out of presumptive taxation and has to get accounts audited u/s. 44AB? Pleas clarify.

No opted out. He can continue with sec. 44AD assessment. Considering the development in ITD since last two three years, I would suggest to file ITR 3 with sec 44AD continued with just Rs. 1 as turnover..
