I am a partner in partnership firm. I have received salary from firm and interest on capital. I have no other income. Can I file ITR3.
in past for AY 2016-17 I have kept P & L and balance sheet blank as I don't have any proprietary business. I received notice u/s 139(9) defective return as p & l and balance sheet can not be blank.
What to do?
