An assessee has been declaring profits u/S 44AD since its inception. In the current FY, if his is, say INR 50L and in turn, income is INR 4L as per section 44AD.
Would the assessee be required to maintain books as per section 44AA? Request your answer to be as per the recent amendment as well as the section which stood before Finance Act, 2016.
Thanks in advance!

No need to maintain accounts before amendment and after amendment. Accounts need to be maintained only if less than 8% profit declared.
