2020 (6) TMI 366 - AT - Income TaxCessation of liability u/s 41(1) - liability is being carried forward for years and the assessee is not able to completely prove the genuineness of the trading liability - HELD THAT:- Genuineness of the trade payables or creditors has to be examined in the year in which they originate and that unless the liability becomes unenforceable or is written off by the assessee or is given up by the other party or something is brought on record that there is cessation of liability, the same cannot be brought to tax u/s 41(1) of the Act. Therefore, they are very much applicable to the facts of the case before us and respectfully following the same, since there is no evidence that there is a cessation of liability during the relevant A.Y, we hold that it cannot be brought to tax u/s 41(1) of the Act during the relevant A.Y. The addition is accordingly deleted. - Decided in favour of assessee.
