For AY 2010-11 Section 44AF is still applicable.
However, for the AY 2011-12, "its big brother" i.e. Section 44AD has come into effect. The profit has to be shown @ 8% or more of the Gross Receipts or Turnover.
In 44AF, only retail traders were covered, whereas U/s 44AD, all the eligible businesses are covered. The business which is not eligible U/s 44AD is plying and leasing of goods carriage.
