As per sec 44AD, it is not necessary to maintain books of accounts for particular year, but in next year how opening balances of partner's capitals and other balances are appear in books of accounts

04 July 2012 You have to understand that Income Tax Act does NOT govern books of accounts.

Treatment under Income Tax Act and accounting records may be different.

Section 44AD is a deeming section. It does not require books of accounts to be adjusted to match the income declared.

You will prepare books of accounts normally and carry forward the balances as per books of accounts.
