respected sir, one of my clint is a retail trader and he obtained housing loan for self occupied property .and we claim exemption for housing loan interest and principle paid as per rules. please explain whether we have to include self occupied house (which is used purely for residential purpose.)in to balance sheet submitting trough itr-4. thanking you
This is a SOP so you neither get the benefit of revenue expenditure nor you get benefit of depreciation.(other than interest on H/L u/s 24 and Principle u/s 80C).
You can show it in BS but it makes your balance sheet complex and heavy. If you separate personal investments such as shares/mutual fund/house/jewelry from business , you can manage it properly and your taxation will be simple. My suggestion- keep out of BS
