If you start billing System at your shop than you need to maintain books of accounts and file GST Returns and Income Tax return according to books of accounts. there will be no trouble for you in income tax.

Hi,

Irrespective of whether you issued bills or not income tax was payable on the amount that you earned from the tiffin services. But however, now that you will register under GST and file GST returns, you have to declare the income and pay tax on the same under Income Tax Act.
