NIL INCOME TAX RETURN

This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
If your client has business income but declared a NIL income for the financial year 2018-2019, filing an ITR-4 as a NIL return might lead to a defective return notice from the department. The correct approach depends on the nature of the income. For income from professions under Section 44ADA, a different form is required than for business income under Section 44AD. Consult the guidance to ensure you use the appropriate form for NIL income returns to avoid issues.

One of my client having income from business & they have filed Income Tax return FORM 4 under COMPUTATION OF PRESUMPTIVE INCOME FROM PROFESSIONS UNDER SECTION 44AD but last FY 2018-2019 is business income as well all income is NIL.

and same was filing NIL income tax return while using ITR4 as a NIL return, but department was issuing 139(9) notice for defective return.

so please advice which form to be use if business income or other income are NIL.
