02 August 2024 In the **"No Account Case"** of ITR-4, the handling of cash and bank balances needs careful consideration. Here's how you should address these items:

### 1. **Cash Balance**

- **Physical Cash in Hand**: In Column No. 52 (Part BS) under "Cash in Hand," report only the actual physical cash you have on hand at the end of the financial year. This does not include the balance in your current account.

### 2. **Bank Balance**

- **Current Account Balance**: Even though the form doesn’t ask specifically for the bank balance in the "No Account Case" section, you need to ensure that your financial situation is correctly represented.

### How to Handle Bank Balance:

- **Cash Basis Accounting**: Since you're using cash basis accounting, your primary focus is on physical cash transactions. However, if you frequently use your current account for business transactions, the balance in the account is relevant for your financial picture.

- **Disclosing Bank Balance**:
- **General Reporting**: While ITR-4 (No Account Case) does not have a specific section for bank balances, you should ensure that your reported cash balance reconciles with your business activities. Ensure that your bank balance aligns with the amount of cash reported, as this will be important for any future scrutiny or validation of your return.
- **Balance Sheet Preparation**: In a broader context, if you were maintaining a full balance sheet (which is not required in the No Account Case), the current account balance would typically be reported as a part of current assets.

### Additional Notes:

- **Reconciliation**: Ensure that the cash balance you report in Column No. 52 is reconciled with any deposits and withdrawals in your current account if you’re reporting cash transactions accurately.

- **Accuracy**: Even if detailed reporting isn’t required in the "No Account Case," maintaining a clear record of your bank transactions and balances is crucial for accurate reporting and future audits.

In summary, report only physical cash in Column No. 52. While the bank balance isn't specifically required in the "No Account Case," it's important to keep accurate records and ensure consistency between your cash and bank transactions.
