No its not necessary..Even govt. employees are not liable to furnish any books of accounts..
if there is no books of account then there is no B/s
And all salaried person exempted from keeping books of account if their income is salary and income from other sources and house property..
Even though one can prepare B/s for own purpose..

I support CA Mihir's views.
.
Further, ITR-1 & ITR-2 are the prescribed forms for those persons who are not having business income.
.
When the information as regards the Balance Sheet items is not essentially required, you should not provide the same.

For a government employee or any person filing ITR-5 who needs to include a Balance Sheet but lacks relevant records for some assets, here’s how to handle the situation:
### **1. **Determine Necessity of Balance Sheet**
- **ITR-5 Requirements:** Government employees and other entities using ITR-5 are generally required to file a Balance Sheet if they are engaged in a business or profession. However, if the individual is not running a business or professional activity, a Balance Sheet may not be necessary.
- **Review the Filing Requirement:** Ensure that the requirement to file a Balance Sheet applies to your specific case. If the individual is a government employee without business or professional income, they might not need to file a Balance Sheet.
### **2. **Reconstruct Missing Records**
- **Estimate Values:** For missing assets, use reasonable estimates based on available information. Document the methodology used for estimation.
- **Historical Data:** Review previous financial records or tax returns that might provide some information about the assets in question.
### **3. **Include Available Information in the Balance Sheet**
- **Fill in Known Data:** Complete the Balance Sheet with the available data you have.
- **Disclose Missing Information:** Clearly state in the notes to accounts that certain assets are estimated or missing due to lack of records.
### **4. **Provide Explanations and Disclosures**
- **Notes to Financial Statements:** Add detailed notes explaining the absence of records and how estimates were arrived at. This transparency helps in understanding the context of the Balance Sheet presented.
- **Supporting Documentation:** Include any relevant supporting documents or calculations that justify the estimates used.
### **5. **Consult a Tax Professional**
- **Professional Guidance:** Consult a Chartered Accountant or tax professional to ensure compliance with accounting standards and tax regulations. They can provide advice on handling missing records and assist in proper disclosure.
### **6. **File the ITR-5**
- **Complete the Form:** Enter all available and estimated information into the ITR-5 form. Ensure that the form is filled out correctly according to the requirements.
- **Attach Explanations:** Attach notes or explanations regarding the missing records and the basis of any estimates.
### **Summary**
For government employees or anyone required to file a Balance Sheet with ITR-5, the Balance Sheet is crucial if engaged in business or profession. If some records are missing, use reasonable estimates, provide clear disclosures, and consult with a tax professional to ensure accurate and compliant filing. If the individual is not engaged in business or profession, they might not need to file a Balance Sheet.
