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.

Dear Aysuhraj.....
The Act does not restrict........he can follow either cash system or mercantile system......but consistency should be there........
