Income derived from agricultural activities is exempt u/s 10(1) of the Act. The assessee, a professional agricultural graduate, consistently declared agricultural income over multiple years. Despite not maintaining books as per Section 44AA, the assessee provided bills for sale of agricultural produce, even to related parties. As an agriculturist, the assessee is not mandated to maintain books u/s 44A.
