23 December 2016

ITR 4 for the AY 2016-17:filed with figures of Gross Receipt, Gross Profit, Exp. and Net Profit figures have been filled under column "Regular Books of Account of Business & Profession are not maintained. An Email from CPC received asking to fill the Balance Sheet & P&L A/c figures should be entered in the ITR form. Now what to do, as there is no books have been maintained. 1. Is the Income Tax Department right? 2. What figure I have to fill?

if the books are not maintained, I assume the return is filed under section 44ad. If that is the case, ITR form used by you is wrong. ITR 4S is to be used for presumptive income. Rectify it in the new form and upload in the site.

The question is about whether BS & PL is mandatory for ITR 4 ? If so then why those option of books not maintained is given... In case if there is no sundry debtors or creditors what should we do ?

if the return is presumptive taxation no books of accounts are required that is very clear from section 44AD

ITR 4 is to be filed where books of accounts are maintain but where books of accounts are not maintained and claims presumptive taxation u/s 44AD Return is to be file in Form 4S.

And section 143(1) is for intimation . For defective return there is specific section 139(9)
