No.
Proprietor may choose to use Accrual basis for accounting.
Infact, Accrual basis is more logical to use.

19 May 2008 THERE IS NO COMPULSION ABOUT FOLLOWING EITHER CASH OR ACCRUAL SYSTEM -ON ANY KIND OF INCOME TAX ASSESSEE.
ONE MAY CHOOSE AS IT SUITS TO THE PARTICULAR ASSESSEE.
ACCRUAL SYSTEM IS BETTER AS IT IS FLEXIBLE AND MORE LOGICAL AND SUITS A TYPICAL BUSINESS UNIT IRRESPECTIVE OF THE FACT THAT THE BUSINESS UNIT IS BEING PROPRIETARY,FIRM/CO.
