Please refer the following link.
Sec 44AA(1) is clear It begins with the words "Every person carrying on LEGAL, MEDICAL...... etc., shall maintain the books of accounts & other documents as may be enable the Assessing Officer to compute the total income inaccordance with the provision of Income Tax Act,1961
Insofor as you CONVINCE the AO, you can continue the exising practice (No Bill,No Receipts,No Proof)But suggested to atleast maintain the Cash book, Bank books, Receivables etc., which are useful to know the position of fee receivable from your clients etc.,
