15 October 2010 you have to prove the records that you did not have any income. you are doing business but you did not mention whether proprietor / Partnership Firm / Company. If you are individual (proprietor) business, then you can consider the exemption limit and explain to department. Otherwise you have the responsibility to file even less income.

Please wait for some other expert's point of view.
