I have taken GSTN in month of December but have filed nil return till March but the sale and purchase was made but both on cash basis so can I file ITR 4 by showing some amount of sale in it or is there any other way to show??

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 the transactions pertain to the period before obtaining registration, you may disclose such transactions in the ITR as business/professional income as applicable
