Preservation-period of books of Accounts under Income tax Act

This query is : Resolved 

14 January 2023 Sir, for how many years I have to keep / preserve my account books for the purpose of Income tax act, if my yearly turnover is more than 5.00 crores and my accounts are audited every year ?

15 January 2023 Assessees are required to preserve the specified books of account for a period of 6 years from the end of the relevant assessment year, i.e., for a total period of 8 previous years.

16 January 2023 Sir, can you tell me under which section and rule, the above preservation period is prescribed ?

16 January 2023

Books of accounts as per Rule 6F

16 January 2023 But sir, I have some confusion/doubt in this regard. Reading this rule, it appears that this rule applies only to professions only. Nowhere in this rule, the word "business" is mentioned . Please remove my doubt .

16 January 2023 It's also applicable to business.
