21 April 2025 One of my friend received receipts from various persons via google pay and other upi apps . Total receipts for the year 2024-25 is Rs. 16,10,000

Do we have to file income tax return by declaring it as receipts and declare @ 8%

If he is not filing the return, is they any problem from Income Tax Department ?
Kindly advise

22 April 2025 The collection is reason for inquiry from ITD, when there is no business activity. You cannot declare 6/8% profit without having eligible business. Declaring him as collection agent on commission basis can justify it to some extent, but for that you have to maintain proper books of accounts and justify funds outflow.
