This discussion clarifies how to declare income from selling books in an Income Tax Return (ITR). If the individual has a business of selling books, even with a small turnover, the income should be reported under the 'Profits and Gains from Business or Profession' (PGBP) head, not 'Income from Other Sources'.

Respected sirs When client has income by selling books and income from sale of books is being shown in ITR by the consultant under income from other sources. Is it correct? And also kindly enlighten me as to the correctness of showing Income offered for assessment( without mentioning any particulars) under income from other sources in ITR. Thanks and regards
