It seems that you are not treated as an employee but you are treated as a Professional and the tax is deducted accordingly. In view of this you are required to treat your income as Income from Business & Profession. If profession is eligible one you can go for presumptive profit of 50%.

For a contractual employee filing ITR-4 and preparing a balance sheet, here's a step-by-step guide to help you create the balance sheet correctly, given your situation:
### **Balance Sheet Preparation for ITR-4**
**1. **Understand the Balance Sheet Components:** - **Assets:** Things you own (e.g., cash, bank balance). - **Liabilities:** Things you owe (e.g., loans, creditors). - **Capital/Net Worth:** The difference between your assets and liabilities.
**2. **Your Situation:** - **Income:** Salary from government employment. - **Investments:** Under Section 80C (not directly related to the balance sheet but affects taxable income). - **Bank Balance:** ₹4,75,828 as of March 31, 2018. - **Cash in Hand:** If applicable.
**3. **Balance Sheet Structure:**
#### **Balance Sheet as on March 31, 2018**
**A. **Liabilities:** - **Sundry Creditors:** ₹0 (if you have no creditors). - **Secured Loans:** ₹0 (if you have no loans). - **Unsecured Loans:** ₹0 (if you have no loans).
**B. **Assets:** - **Cash in Hand:** ₹0 (if you have no cash in hand). - **Bank Balance:** ₹4,75,828 (as of March 31, 2018).
**C. **Net Worth (Capital):** - **Capital:** ₹4,75,828 (if there are no other liabilities, this amount represents your net worth).
### **Filling ITR-4:**
1. **Part A - Balance Sheet:** - **Column 1:** Fill in your assets and liabilities as mentioned above. - **Column 2:** Enter `0` for items that do not apply to you (e.g., sundry debtors, creditors, secured/unsecured loans).
2. **Part A - Assets:** - **Cash and Bank Balances:** - **Bank Balance:** ₹4,75,828 - **Cash in Hand:** ₹0 (if applicable)
- **Fixed Assets:** ₹0 (if you do not own any fixed assets).
5. **Other Sections of ITR-4:** - **Income:** Mention your salary income in the appropriate section. - **Deductions:** Claim your Section 80C deductions as applicable.
### **Key Points:** - **No Liabilities:** If you have no debts or creditors, simply enter `0` for those categories. - **Bank Balance:** Include all cash in the bank balance as your asset. - **No Need for Additional Details:** Since you don’t have any loans or other liabilities, the balance sheet is straightforward.
### **Conclusion:**
This balance sheet reflects your financial status accurately, given that you only have a bank balance and no other significant assets or liabilities. Enter these details into the ITR-4 form where appropriate, and your tax return should be correctly prepared. If you have additional questions or complexities, consulting with a tax professional can be beneficial.
