02 August 2024 For your situation, where your gross receipts from a profession are ₹2,40,000 per annum, here's a breakdown of the requirements under Sections 44AA and 44AB:

### **Section 44AA: Maintenance of Books of Account**

**Requirement:**
- **Section 44AA** mandates that professionals (e.g., doctors, lawyers, accountants) must maintain books of account if their gross receipts exceed ₹1.5 lakh in any financial year.

**Your Situation:**
- Since your gross receipts are ₹2,40,000 per annum, you are required to maintain books of account under Section 44AA.

**Books to Maintain:**
- **Cash Book**: Record of all cash transactions.
- **Journal**: Record of all business transactions in a chronological order.
- **Ledger**: Summary of all transactions recorded in the journal.
- **Other Documents**: Supporting documents for expenses, receipts, and other financial transactions.

### **Section 44AB: Tax Audit**

**Requirement:**
- **Section 44AB** requires a tax audit if the gross receipts from the profession exceed ₹50 lakh in a financial year.

**Your Situation:**
- Since your gross receipts are ₹2,40,000, which is below the ₹50 lakh threshold, a tax audit under Section 44AB is not required.

### **Summary of Your Obligations:**

1. **Books of Account**: You must maintain books of account as your gross receipts exceed ₹1.5 lakh.
2. **Tax Audit**: A tax audit is not required as your gross receipts are below ₹50 lakh.

**Additional Points:**

- Even though a tax audit is not required, maintaining proper books of account is essential for accurate reporting and compliance.
- Proper documentation and maintenance of accounts will also help in case of any future scrutiny or queries from the Income Tax Department.

**Action Steps:**
- Ensure you maintain accurate and complete books of account for your profession.
- File your income tax return correctly, including all the income and expenses as per the maintained books.
- Keep records and supporting documents for at least six years in case of any future inquiries or assessments.
