Return filing under income tax act is governed by section 139(1) which says that return filing is necessary where income exceeds the minimum slab specified irrespective of tax liability.Hence if there is no income before any deductions under chapter VIA there is no need to file any return.Again return filing is required u/s 139(3) to claim the loss incurred by company.

In the case of Loss the company has to file the return with in the due date otherwise the company cannot C/F the Loss. Whereas the company has not commenced the production hence the expenses can claim as Pre Operative expenses and the amount should be apportionate over the asset on the commencement of business. Since there is no Loss no need to file the return.
