You may do at your own risk. Department can deny refund unless the required details are furnished.
.
In my view Income from Other Sources is a residual head. When a particular income falls under the 4 other heads, it can not be shown under IFOS.

BUT DO I HAVE TO PREPARE BALANCE SHEET OF ASSESSE BCOZ THE ASSESSE IS ONLY A TRAINEE IN THE ORGANISATION AND PAYMENT MADE TO HIM IS UNDER SEC 194J

Here’s the clarification for your case:
Since income is from Section 194J (Professional fees), it is considered income from business or profession and not "Income from Other Sources."
Therefore, it is recommended to file ITR-4 (Presumptive Business Income) rather than ITR-1.
Regarding balance sheet preparation:
If you file under Section 44AD (presumptive taxation scheme), you do not need to maintain or submit a balance sheet or detailed accounts.
However, if income is not declared under 44AD and normal business/professional income is declared, then balance sheet and profit & loss account must be prepared and submitted.
Since the assessee is a trainee with income under 194J and presumably below threshold, it’s simpler and advisable to file ITR-4 using presumptive taxation (Section 44AD), no balance sheet needed.
