Does donation received for open source software project come under section 44ADA?
I am an Indian resident earning professional income from IT consultancy and thus filing income tax under section 44ADA.
I also have a open source software project for which I get donations. The donations I am receiving have no obligations, that is, I do not have to deliver anything in return. For donations in a higher category, I am just listing them on the project page under "Sponsors" heading, and nothing else to deliver in return too.
Do these donation come under business or professional income or can this be filed in a separate category like income from other source?
Edit: Due to one big project I did last year, if I combine these donations with the professional income, I am exceeding 75L limit for section 44ADA. Thus if these donations can be filed under income from other sources, I can avoid doing audit and file under 44ADA. Which is why i have this question in first place.
