Will there be a problem if i had more balance in bank at the end of financial year than income earned in previous year?

For example

gross turnover E1(a) = 400000
balance in bank E21 = 700000

Unless capital introduced by partners/proprietor in firm, it is not possible. ITD may raise a query.

Unless capital introduced by partners/proprietor in firm, or loans or payable to creditors etc... it is not possible. ITD may raise a query.

Thanks for your reply.

The balance was due to FD (fixed deposit) that matured. I did not renew the FD so there was some excess balance.

Should i leave the "balance in bank E21" column empty to avoid any problem? it is not mandatory to fill that column.

Better to fill the column, as its explainable.

Ok.

In balance in banks (E21) column do i have to give the total income earned or whatever balance was there as on 31 march?

Also you mentioned ITD may raise a query, is there any reason why ITD will raise a query?

Balance as on 31st March of relevant year.

High value transactions or bank balances are generally caught under ITC radar.

Dear Manu - In normal scenario bank balance would be less than or equal to turnover. There must be some abnormal transactions, which would have increased the bank balance.

Please possess appropriate documentation for these transactions and do ensure appropriate treatment in ITR. If these two things are followed by heart, then we can respond to any sort of query from the IT department.
