Balance Sheet as on a particular date depicts the financial position of the Person on that date which must be true from all aspects. If you use imaginary figures to prepare the same, leave the statutory departments, you on your own will not understand the true picture of your business. And, further if you fail to substantiate your imaginary figures in front of any departments, you will be penalised accordingly. So, it's always recommended to prepare balance sheet with actual figures. You can put imaginary figures for a particular expense only when you don't have any documents/vouchers/records with you for the same and that too you have to put on the basis of systematic guess.
