10 July 2009 Please clear my doubt.

A person is the owner of 2 trucks. He earned Rs. 5 Lakhs during the year 2008-09 from plying these 2 trucks. Can he file return by showing Rs. 3500/- per month per truck as his total income? Have he require to be audit u/s 44AB?
He is not maintaning any books.

Thanks in advance.

He is not required to get audit done.
