Section 2(12A) of the Income tax Act,1961 contains an inclusive definition for books of accounts.Accordingly, books of accounts can also be kept in electro-magnetic data storage device. So maintaining account books is SAP is permissible under the said act. Coming to clause 9b of form 3CD, please mention therein that cash book and general ledger are maintained using SAP.
