08 February 2017 An assessee other than specified profession u/s 44AA is required to maintain books of account if its net business & profession income exceeds Rs. 1,20,000 or gross receipt/sales exceed Rs. 10,00,000/-. In your case, it seems that the gross receipt is less than 10,00,000/- but net income from business and profession exceeds Rs. 1,20,000/-.

so, in your case, you need to respond to the notice received u/s 139 and file balance sheet and profit and loss account.

Thanks

08 February 2017 Section 194J refers to payment of fees for professional or technical services. In your case, the assessee is not an employee on paper. The employer has considered his service as a consultant or professional fees and not as a salary to employee. In this case, the nature of transaction falls under the head business and profession and not under the head salary. So, you need to prepare income and expenditure account and balance sheet based on all the details and records available with you or supplied by your assessee. If no investment is there simple capital account and assets to be shown in balance sheet.
