ITR 4 for the AY 2016-17:filed with figures of Gross Receipt, Gross Profit, Exp. and Net Profit figures have been filled under column "Regular Books of Account of Business & Profession are not maintained. An Email from CPC received asking to fill the Balance Sheet & P&L A/c figures should be entered in the ITR form. Now what to do, as there is no books have been maintained. 1. Is the Income Tax Department right? 2. What figure I have to fill?

if the books are not maintained, I assume the return is filed under section 44ad. If that is the case, ITR form used by you is wrong. ITR 4S is to be used for presumptive income. Rectify it in the new form and upload in the site.
if assessee have commission income from LIC
Both ITR 4 and 4s require to be filled with balance sheet items. as to sundry debtors, closing stock, sundry creditors and cash in hand details
The question is about whether BS & PL is mandatory for ITR 4 ? If so then why those option of books not maintained is given... In case if there is no sundry debtors or creditors what should we do ?
if the return is presumptive taxation no books of accounts are required that is very clear from section 44AD
ITR 4 is to be filed where books of accounts are maintain but where books of accounts are not maintained and claims presumptive taxation u/s 44AD Return is to be file in Form 4S.
then explain the purpose of books not maintained clause in ITR4
yaa right I had also filed some returns in ITR 4 where no books have been maintained, but I had not received any notice
u can revise ur return
In case of LIC commission u can use form 2A
And section 143(1) is for intimation . For defective return there is specific section 139(9)
presumptive income is the part of profit and loss account but you have to state the balance sheet items though you are have not maintained
revise your return using itr 4s then
