As per section 44AA (2)(ii),you are bound to keep such books of accounts (not the prescribed books under rule 6F) as may enable the ITO to compute your total income. However, the act / rules does not bar you from keeping regular books ( as in rule 6F) of accounts.

### **Obligation Under Section 44AA**
Under Section 44AA of the Income Tax Act, individuals are required to maintain books of accounts if their gross receipts exceed certain thresholds. Here’s the relevant information for your situation:
1. **Threshold for Maintenance of Books:**
- For **professionals**, including those providing home tuition, if your gross receipts exceed ₹1.5 lakh in a financial year, you are required to maintain books of accounts.
- For **businesses**, if your gross receipts exceed ₹25 lakh in a financial year, you must maintain books of accounts.
2. **Books of Accounts for Home Tuition:**
- Given that your gross receipts from home tuition are ₹2,45,000, which exceeds the ₹1.5 lakh threshold, you are required to maintain books of accounts.
### **ITR Filing and Revision**
Since you filed your ITR-4 on a presumptive basis (presumably under Section 44AD), and your gross receipts exceed the limit where books of accounts are mandatory, you should maintain accurate records.
**To address your specific queries:**
1. **Books of Accounts Obligation:**
- Yes, you are obligated to maintain books of accounts as per Section 44AA, due to your gross receipts exceeding ₹1.5 lakh.
2. **Revising the Return:**
- **If You Filed on No-Account Basis:** You need to revise your return to accurately reflect your income and expenses under the correct provisions. Filing on a no-account basis does not exempt you from the requirement to maintain books of accounts if your gross receipts exceed the prescribed limit.
- **For A.Y. 2010-11:** If you initially filed under a presumptive scheme but your receipts required maintenance of books, you should revise your return to reflect actual income and expenses, adhering to the requirement of maintaining books.
### **Summary**
- **Yes, you need to maintain books of accounts** due to your gross receipts exceeding ₹1.5 lakh.
- **You should revise your ITR** for A.Y. 2010-11 to comply with the proper accounting requirements if you initially filed on a no-account basis.
