Section 44AF is different from Section 80C. You are showing business income under section 44AF. You will claim your savings under section 80C in your final computation of total income. And also interest on housing loan as a intrahead adjsutment. You should keep your books of accounts for total 8 years. IT can take your case under scrutiny, if they have information about your concealment of income with in these 8 years.
