Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies how professionals can include personal assets like residential flats and owned shops on their professional balance sheet when filing an Income Tax Return (ITR). It explains that while these can be shown as assets, depreciation is only claimable if the asset is used for business purposes. LIC premiums are addressed as personal drawings and deductible under specific ITR schedules, not as business expenses.

Yes. You can prepare BS and Income Statements based on Information provided by the clients. But payment of premiums will be accounted in Income Statements as an expense.

Yes you can show the residential flat (in the Asset Side) However no depreciation shall be claimed as its not used for business purpose. LIC Premium (Drawings from Capital Account in the books and in ITR show it under the Schedule Deductions under Chapter VIA for the premium paid during the year) and Shop Owned (In the asset side) and if you are using the shop for your own profession then you can provide for depreciation and claim the same).
