Income declared under section 44AD was accepted because the assessee's activity as a Business Correspondent fell within business, not a notified profession under section 44ADA. The Tribunal held that the Assessing Officer could not enhance income by applying a 50% rate on an assumption that the assessee "should have" declared that level of income, since section 44AD and section 44ADA operate in distinct fields.
