26 March 2009 Thanks, Mr. Manmohan and Mr.Lokesh for your answer. but sir, i want to know if an income was not likely to exceed but exceeded at the end of year then what will be happened. whether assessee will maintained books in the next year or in the same year. this is my case and ITO give notice to my client because i showed income of Rs.152000/- in newly setup business for the A.Y-2008-2009. What i should do in this case.

26 March 2009 For specified professionals , the books of accounts are to be maintained from the very first day of starting the profession,as per Section 44AA(1).
The limit of 1.20 lacs is for other than specified professionals.

26 March 2009 thanks madam for giving your valuable time to my query. but here i want to know that in case of non-specified profession or business if income is exeeded rs.1.20 lacs in previous year 2008-2009 in case of newly setup business then whether books will be maintained from the P.Y-2008-2009 or 2009-2010.

26 March 2009 I agree with Vanita rathi. All legal professionals have to maintain the books of accounts from the first year itself regardless of the amount of total receipts or profits.

26 March 2009 i agree with CA JAIMIN TRIVEDI


27 March 2009 experts are correct

02 July 2009 You will have to prove A.O that how you determined that the likely gross receipts would not exceed 1,50,000/-.
