Kindly refer to sec 44 AA which says that if gross receipts from specified profession is more than Rs. 150000 he is required to maintain books of accounts u/s 44AA or in case of non specified profession if his income from profession exceeds Rs. 120000 or gross receipts from such profession or gross receipts exceeds Rs. 1000000 then he is required to maintain books of accounts(that may enable A.O to compute his professional income).

file ITR 4 in case of professional income.

No Account case should be selected or Balance sheet and P/L A/c to be filled can be decided on the basis of above limitation.

TDS would be for professional services not in the nature of salary u/s 194J.
