No sir, it's written is section 44AD not in section 44ADA.
Section 44AD is only applicable to Individuals, HUF and Partnerships firm ( excluding LLP)
But section 44ADA is applicable to all resident assessee.

I read law, do google consult with senior and colleagues every where and every one is saying that section is not applicable to LLP..even my point of view is same..

Yes, sir
You found at Google every article is saying that, 44ADA is not applicable to LLP, I agree with that
but if you read the section than in 44ADA it's clearly mentioned that " in the case of an assessee, being a resident in India,"
whereas bin 44AD it's mentioned that "in the case of an eligible assessee -means an individual, Hindu undivided family or a partnership firm, who is a resident, but not a limited liability partnership firm

So, All assessee, being a resident in India can take benifit of 44ADA

As per the provisions of Income tax act, 1961 rule made thereunder and plain reading of section, section 44ADA is applicable to all assessee (including LLP, company all)

But its litigative matter and subject to long litigation in court.
No one has litigated this matter till now as I don't find any judgement/case law relating to this.

If you see the form ITR 4 than heading of Form is " [For Individuals, HUFs and Firms (other than LLP)....................having income from business and profession
which is computed under sections 44AD, 44ADA or 44AE or ........]" So this form is not for LLP
This section is for small professional and for small professional,it's not economically viable to go into litigation, So, it's better and advisable for LLP to not to take benifit of section 44ADA.

Note : But if you want to litigated or challenge than you can very well challenge this issue as Act is allowing but IT authority is not allowing as per my view.
