ITR 3 VALIDATION ERROR

I am trying to file an ITR 3 under Section 44AD but at the time of validation of the return, an error is displayed "Since your income from "Profits and Gains from Business and Profession exceeds the basic exemption limit kindly fill up details in Balance sheet". Since proper books of accounts are not maintained, I filled only item 6 under Balance Sheet. Please suggest a solution

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses a common ITR 3 validation error encountered when filing under Section 44AD, where the system requires Balance Sheet details if business income exceeds the basic exemption limit.
