Can I file a NIL return for a firm using ITR 4, or should I show a Rs. 1 turnover?

Can I file Nil Return for my partnership firm using ITR 4? ITR 5 is too complicated for me. 

I have received a defective return notice today. It said,

"As per rule 12 (1)(ca), a person deriving income under the head “profits or gains from business /profession” and  such income computed in accordance with special provisions of section 44AD or 44AE or 44ADA, is required to furnished return in ITR-4. The Return of Income is filed using ITR 4, however, income from business or profession under section 44AD or 44AE or 44ADA is not disclosed"

Possible Resolution - "ITR 4 is not applicable to your case since income from business or profession under section 44AD or 44AE or 44ADA is not disclosed. If you do not have any income from business or profession under section 44AD, 44AE or 44ADA, then kindly file corrected Return using ITR 2 (for individuals and H.U.F) or ITR 5 (In case of Firm)"

I was thinking to show a turnover of Rs. 1 so that I can file ITR 4. Is this a possible solution if I can't file nil return using ITR 4?

May try with Turnover 100/- I think it should work out

Thank you for your reply Kapadia.

Instead of Nil return, if I show a return of Rs. 100 then don't I have to pay a late fees again since it's already past the due date? Is it Rs. 1000 even for firms? 

On filing return under 139(9) defective return notice , there is no late fee . Happy !!
