Income Tax

March 31, 2020

Disallowance of bad debts u/s 36(1) - The non-realisation of debt can result in bad debt written off if the same is written off in the books. Since it is not the case that any bad debt has been written in the books the assessee’s plea fails. As per section 36(1)(vii) the allowance of bad debt is depending upon its being written off as irrecoverable in the accounts of the assessee in the previous year. Hence, in absence of this prerequisite the assessee’s claim of bad debt fails.
