Hello Abhishek,
as per section 44AA r/w rule 6F,
You have to keep supporting of expenses exceeding Rs.50 , others can be treated as petty and be supported by internal vouchers.
Income exceeding Rs.25, copies of bill raised to be retained by u

Frankly
He can throw this rule out of the window... So would I :)
But of course, u cant follow the rule verbatim....
We just do the simple thing of keeping internal voucher and signing it (often ourselves), saying recipient's signature.... Only supporting document is intended by law.....
I LEFT OUT TO MENTION IN FIRST POST....
It is also provided in rule 6F, that where the cash book provides adequate details of the expenditure, the internal vouchers for expenditure below Rs50 also need not be maintained....
Its not a practical rule... it was set in 80's.....

Try maintaining even smallest amount bill as much as possible....like petrol bill,train ticket,bus ticket,stationery bills,etc...
It will prove better and true impression in case of scrutiny ....
