    Solution

    Section 128 of the Companies Act, 2013, requires every company to maintain proper books of account. These typically include a Cash Book, a Journal, and a Ledger to give a true and fair view of the company's affairs. A Petty Cash Book, while an essential and practical tool for tracking small, routine expenses, is not specifically mandated by the Act. It is a subsidiary book, and its function can be subsumed within the main Cash Book.
