28 February 2017 Assessee has income from 2 different businesses..

One is from Restaurant Business..

Second is Commission from Transporters..

He incurs expenses in both of the cases above..

Can he prepare two different Profit & Loss A/c's (one for each business) and

One single consolidated and merged balance sheet (for both the businesses as well as personal assets)??

28 February 2017 Is books are maintained under the same name (company, firm proprietorship etc) then no need to separate the P&L and Balance sheet.

01 March 2017 Balance sheet you cannot prepare 2 , only P& L yo can prepare 2 to know individual Business Profitability , You can consolidate P&L and consider depreciation , For ITR -4 you have to upload consolidates statement considering all business income .
