Two Balance sheets for a assesse having both proprietary business income and professional income

417 views 3 replies

A friend of mine is a Novel writer who earns royalty income of Rs.20 lacs digitally on entering an agreement with a Digital Book publishing company after deducting TDS of 10% U/s 194JA. 

The same person is also earning commission receipts of Rs.8lacs on entering an agreement with Logistic Company after deducting TDS of 0.75% U/s 194C.

She is maintaining Bank accounts for both business and profession separately and is not registered under GST for her proprietorship Business.  

Do I need to prepare separate Balance sheet for Business and Professional income?

Or Can I prepare two Profit and Loss Statements and a Consolidated Balance sheet for IT Purpose?

Your replies are highly appreciable. Thank you all

One p&l and balance sheet will do. she can maintain separate heads of income to identify the same.

Thank you Sir. 

Is she eligible to opt for presumptive taxation U/s 44ADA for her royalty income?

No he is not as royalty income is not professional income.
