It means it is the duty of a business men to maintain the proper accounts, If he doesn't, Auditor or Consultant will take the income basis on Bank statement.

He might be dealing the transaction with his client through bank, just in case we can't say it as a books of accounts.

It is kind of Inflow and outflow, in Inflow he might be deposited cash and he might taken loan from third party, but for Income tax they doesn't mind it, basis on overall gross receipts we have to calculate net income.
