25 November 2009 Site account basically prepared to get the profit or loss details from the individual site. You can name it as trading account.The contents of site account will be land cost of the site, land development cost, labour charges, salary for administration, other incidental expense for that site.

land development account will again be sitewise. This account has details of land developments like cost of land, stamp duty on purchase of land, purchase of sand, bricks & other materials.

As such there will not be any Statutory books. You should always maintained the books by which you can prepare the profitability statement.
