20 September 2021 Since rental and interest income (earned in the personal capacity of the proprietor) is not related to the business, you have an option not to club these with the accounts of the business.
However, for convenience, if you would like to integrate these, you may do so.
Whether integrated/separate accounts are maintained or not, just ensure to disclose all the income in the income tax return.
