thanks sir but we are currently maintaining sales and some purchase bills and we have no other expenses bills. it is very benefitial to go 44ad otherwise books of account is very complicated to maintain under income tax voucher, rent voucher etc right?
But for 44Ad he requires to file. ITR 4 , wherein ,Sundry debtors , Sundry creditors , stock , Cash bank are mandatory to show ,so you to maintain all this. record .
Yes it ITR-4(S) has now become ITR-4(SUGAM). but it does not change it's purpose.
Need not to maintain books means you need not to maintain books as per Income tax Act which is you don't have any Legal Liability for this.
Also even if it is presumption business but this is A BUSINESS anyway which means there must be transactions and it must have been recorded as well on the basis of which you are supposed to file the return. This means if even you record the transaction on a simple Register (like Local Baniyas do) and file the return on basis of it, it would be sufficient compliance. Further, in general AO does not ask for the Books (only except in cases when he has reason to believe that Income has hidden or underreported etc.)
So Mr. Dharmik Vadgama you don't need to be very much worried about maintenance of PROPER BOOKS what is required is just you record the transaction on basis of which you are Presuming your Income.
