• 139(9) notice with error code 86

" As the provisions of Section 44AD are not applicable, in
your case, the claim of computing profits and gains of
business on presumptive basis, under this special provision
is not allowable."

I have this notice yesterday. 
For AY 18-19 I used business code: 14006
I am running a transcription unit with 3-5 typing team and for AY 18-19 the I had total 18,73,850 rupees through Paypal. Paypal using the Code P0803 Data Processing (RBI Code).

For AY 17-18 I used code 0709 (IT enable Service) and there was no such issue in filling under 44AD. Also the same for AY 16-17.

Please let me know what to do next. Should I change the business code to 14005
Asked 5 years ago in Income Tax

You have basically used the code for BPO services which I guess is not appropriate.

14005 would be more appropriate and it has a wide scope. As 44AD defines eligible business as any business there should not be any problem as you are running a proper business so just revise the return and change the business code.

Hope you find the information helpful if you do please rate it 5 and provide your valuable feedback for my improvement.

Thank you

Yes I think you must go ahead by just changing the code and I haven't seen any return getting defective notice second time after one has made the error correct so just relax and make sure you have properly corrected the error and there is no other issue.

They only reject the return and can't do anything else and if you don't file the response to same they could send you a notice saying that you haven't filed any return for the said year.

Thank you
