no...no one is wrong. as an individual/firm etc have the option of choosing the accounting method.
therefore, I go back to my original argument that entry is based accounting method and not on the entity.
Even in case of individuals, certain incomes have to be necessarily be recognised on accrual basis such as Interest on cumulative deposit scheme of Government undertakings. Such interest has to be compulsorily offered to tax on accrual basis refer : No. 371 [F. No. 178/44/80-IT(A-I)], dated 21-11-1983.
