14 July 2015 Hi. I am a Professor of Architecture at a college in Chennai. I would like to know if the income I receive from the college will classify as Income from Profession? Will the income received from the college for a visiting professor also qualify as income from profession. I would be obliged if you could tell me the relevant sections for this, so that I can talk to the college management, provided, I can show the income as income from profession. If I can, do I need to maintain book of accounts for the same? Your prompt reply would be appreciated. Thanks.

For professional income you need to maintain books of accounts
