Quick Summary
This discussion addresses how to file your Income Tax Return (ITR) when you've registered for GST but haven't filed returns, particularly concerning cash sales and purchases made before GST registration. It clarifies that filing nil GST returns with undeclared cash business income is inappropriate due to data exchange between departments. For bank purposes, pre-GST transactions can be declared as business income in your ITR, but you must be prepared to provide evidence if questioned.

If you have earned business income in cash, filing Nil return under GST is not appropriate.

Further, there would be a data exchange between gst and IT dept. So if you declare business income in ITR, gst dept would very well know about this.

But in case I want to show ITR return for bank purpose then what head it can be???

and the sale purchase was also made in pre GST period can that be shown then which head?
If the transactions pertain to the period before obtaining registration, you may disclose such transactions in the ITR as business/professional income as applicable
That will not be questioned in future period?? and the purchase was almost in pre GST period and also don't have bills as Creditors didn't issued..
It can be asked and u have to prove it with evidence. So have it now by creditors.
