Thank you sir for your valuable answer.

Every REGISTERED PERSON shall maintain records at his principal place of business. Composition dealer may not be required to maintain detailed records but he has to maintain records. No circular exempting composition dealer from that has been issued.

yeah I agree with Mr. @ GS if you a registered person and not a composite dealer , then you must be maintained your books of accounts
