Others 2459 views 2 replies

Dear All,

I have one querry regarding maintenance of books of accounts for income tax purpose and companies act purpose. Companies Act mandates accrual system for accounting. However Income Tax Act Sec.145 recognizes both cash as well as accrual method of account but on  consistent basis. So can a company assessee maintain books of accounts on accrual basis for Companies Act and on Cash Basis for Icome Tax Act?? Or there is any specific provision denying this?????????

All company assessees are required to maintain accounts only on accrual basis. The choice given in sec 145  is only to individuals.Therefore, the company has to maintain the accounts on accrual basis.

thanks Tulsyan sir

very useful to acquir knowledge
