Any person having income from business less than 60 L can opt Sec 44AD and opt for declaring 8% profit. 

In a case where a partner receives 40L as remuneration from partnership (special income) within the limits of Sec 40(b). It is also taxed under the head of Income from Business in the hands of the partner.

Can the partner opt for Sec 44AD in this case and declare only 3.2 L as net income?.
