A GST firm proprietor received a Rs 5 lakh advance for iron goods supply, with a condition for an additional Rs 15 lakh within 30 days. The party failed to provide the balance, leading to the forfeiture of the Rs 5 lakh. The proprietor wishes to show this forfeited amount as profit in FY 2024-2025 and is seeking clarification on its income tax treatment, specifically whether it falls under the basic exemption limit given their income is below Rs 7 lakhs. They also want to know if expenses can be deducted against the forfeited amount.
