A commission agent is required to maintain the accounts if: 1. in any of the 3 previous years, his income from such profession or gross receipts exceeds Rs. 1.20 Lacs or Rs. 10 Lacs respectively;
2. the profession was set up only last year, then if his income from such profession exceeds Rs.1.2 lacs or the gross receipts during last year exceeds Rs.10 lacs;
Assuming that the agent's income from this profession is Rs.1.90 Lacs, It is not possible to file the return as "No Account" cas i.e. he needs to maintain the accounts.
