[Jagdish Kukrety]

My job is to examine the Master Plan of cities & identify areas having the potential to be developed commercially or for a residential colony & help the Principal to acquire (procure) it for which I get retainership fee.I am not an Advocate but my long stint in the Govt. service has given me this expertise.My vocation(profession) is not covered by the professions under Sec.44AA(1) & my income from Profession does not exceed ₹ 120000/- & the total Gross income from Profession does not exceed ₹ 1000000/- as stipulated in Sec.44AA(2) As such I presume that I am not required to maintain accounts & am not covered by the provisions of Sec.44AD or 44ADA.

Please confirm whether I am right in my presumption.
