ITR-4 has to be filed, prepare income statements i.e profit and loss account and balance sheet. If doctors work on consultation basis that can also be considered as professional income.
If doctors appointed in the roll of company than that income to be considered as salary income.
If Income exceed more than 25 lakhs from profession liable for tax audit.

Great question! When preparing a balance sheet for the first time for a doctor’s clinic (or any business/profession), here’s how you handle the capital on the liability side:
How to show Capital in Balance Sheet (Liabilities side) for the first time: Capital represents the owner's investment in the business.
If this is the first balance sheet, you don’t have a "previous balance" of capital.
So, your opening capital will be calculated as:
Capital = Total Assets – Total Liabilities (other than Capital)
Steps: List all assets: cash, bank balance, equipment, furniture, clinic premises (if owned), receivables, etc.
List all liabilities: loans, creditors, advances received.
Calculate capital: Assets – Liabilities = Capital amount.
This capital amount is then shown on the liability side under "Capital Account."
