The para 3 (iv)of AS-9 (applicable to listed companies, large commercial and industrial and business enterprise)clearly excludes the realised gains resulting from the discharge of an obligation at less than its carrying amount from the purview of "revenue".
Therefore the amount written-back shall be credited to capital reserve.
