1. ITR 3

2 . Yes, as loss may have to carry forward.

3. Any loss from the business after adjusting it from other incomes except salary, to be carried forward.

4. No need of tax audit.

5. Income tax query under ITR

6. Why to take that step, no need.

7.  Ideally, show 6% profits over TO of about 3.30 lakhs i.e, about 20 K, pay tax over it (about 4-6K), forget to claim loss and relax.
