Thanks for reply.

Pls explain me if I am not maintaining books can I claim depreciation & vehicle insurance in ITR4 ?

Actually in the case of Professionals, it is mandatory to maintain Books of Accounts u/s 44AA.

I believe as per Sec 44AA in case of professionals if gross receipts exceeds Rs.150000/- in all the three preceeding previous years then only it is required to maintain books otherwise not.
