Is it compulsory for professional to adopt cash system

Is it compulsory for a professional to follow Cash system of accounting. Is it ok if he follows Mercantile system from past 10-15 years.

The income of a professional is generally taxed u/s 28. Thus Sec 145 of the Income Tax act applies. That sec gives freedom to him to choose either cash or merchantile system of accounting.
