Facts of the case : Mr. A has filed ITR 4 for FY 2019-20. Now in FY 2020-21 he has capital gain from shares/mf.
Query : 1) Do Mr. A has to prepare balance sheet and file return in ITR 3?? 2) If in next year, say FY 2021-22 Mr. A doesnt have capital gain from shares/mf, can he file return in ITR 4 for FY 2021-22?
