As per section 44AA :- This section says about the requirement to maintain the books by the assesses as per this section
1) whose gross receipts/sales exceeds Rs.1,50,000 are required to maintain the books
2) it specifies some persons those are should be maintain the books ir-relavent of gross receipts/sales
