Sir

Even if the assessee files ITR 4S,

Depreciation has to be deducted in the Balance Sheet from asset & shown as an expense in P&L A/C.. And the net profit shown in P&L A/C should match with income shown in ITR 4s.. is this correct, sir? 

I know there is no need for preparing final accounts in case of ITR 4s.. But still preparing them for bank finance purposes..

Ans.: Not compulsarily, but anything near about much better.  Books should be prepared as per actual facts, with depreciation deduction etc., so that bank may have real picture.

Thank you very much, Sir!!!
