Income Source

Hi Sir / Madam,
I have given a loan to a friend. He gives me Rs.3 lakhs per month. Now Can I show that amount in my business account in ITR-4?

For example;
Gross Receipts = Rs.36 Lakhs (3 Lakhs × 12)
Net Income = Rs. 2.88 Lakhs (36 Lakhs × 8%)

Please resolve my doubt.
Thanks in Advance

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses whether loan repayments received from a friend can be declared as business income under ITR-4. The consensus is that such income should be declared under 'other sources' rather than as business income. It's also clarified that there's no legitimate way to avoid paying tax on this income.

You can show under other sources
Why Can't Show in Business account?
Is it for business purposes?
No sir, as usual only.
So it's not come under business income
Sir, Is there any other way to escape this income without paying tax?
There is no other way to escape this income without paying tax.
