If turnover exceeds 10,00,000/- for the past 3 years, the books of accounts are necessary. 

 

AS PER INCOME TAX ACT  a person must  show 8% profit on gross turnover if the sale is not more than 1 cr. as per section 44AD . BUT if the turnover is not more than 1 cr. and assesse show profit less than 8 % he must have his books audited by the practising CA. BEFORE 30 SEPTEMBER. 

AND if the turnover is not liable to compulsary audit  and assessee claims loss in business and  timely file his income tax return   , generally department accept the same. BUT if the case is selected for scrutiny then department can ask for all  books of accounts.
