Only where an assessee filing ITR-1 (SAHAJ) is not required to prepare a Balance Sheet, in all other cases the same is to be prepared.
ITR-1 (SAHAJ): Balance Sheet is not required because it's for individuals with simple income sources like salary, pension, interest, etc.
ITR-4: Since ITR-4 is for individuals, Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs), and firms (other than LLP) who are income taxpayers under the presumptive taxation scheme (Section 44AD, 44ADA, or 44AE), a Balance Sheet is mandatory, even if you're filing the return based on a presumptive scheme.
Even if you maintain only the Profit & Loss Account, you need to prepare the Balance Sheet as part of the filing requirements under ITR-4.
