u/s 44AA(2) person carrying on business/ profession should maintain books of account and documents if annual income> Rs 120000/- or Turnover> Rs 10L in any one of 3 preceeding years.

But if ur friend opts for presumptive taxation u/s 44AD (8% minimum profit ) then he is not required to maintain books of accounts u/s 44AA.

So, let him make a decision and then fill the ITR 4.

As your turnover not exceeded 10 lakhs you better opt for presumptive taxation 44AD and disclose atleast 8% on turnover as profit

so if your turnover is 7lakhs ,,8% on it is 56000 so it will be okay that you can show income what you have arrived and file return..

un this case you dont need to maintain books of accounts
