18 December 2009 As per section 44AA; books of account should be maintained if income from business
exceeds Rs.1,20,000/-

But your client seem to have retail business for which Sec. 44AF is applicable and net profit can be shown 5% or more of turnover.

So you can adopt that alternative available and maintain sale records to prove the sales.

Rest of income can be shown as received from firm and firm is already maintaining the books of account.
