Saurabh-ji, thank you for your advice, but I prefer doing taxes on my own, this is why I spend a lot of time researching... I now consulted with the FAQs on the Indian Income Tax website, there are some helpful FAQs when browsing Section 44AA of Income Tax Act, I found this question to be very helpful:
What books of account have been prescribed to be maintained by a person carrying on business/profession under the Income-tax Act?
The Income-tax Act does not prescribe any specific books of account for a person engaged in business or in non-specified profession. However, such a person is expected to keep and maintain such book of account and other documents as may enable the Assessing Officer to compute his total income in accordance with the provisions of the Act
Since I already have a personal book of accounts, I might be able use this when required in case the assessing officer wants to compute my total income. Please correct me if I am wrong.
