25 November 2017 Claim Abnormal Loss in P&L A/c while calculating Business Profit Taxable under PGBP Head. FIR copy of theft and documents related to employment of employees involved in embezzlement should be kept in case it is required subsequentaly.

25 November 2017 It would be practically difficult to convince Assessing Officer, the genuineness of transaction to his satisfaction. Since it looks like you are only shifting business profit to subsequent Assessment Years.

25 November 2017 Thanks for your reply. actually this incidence happened in our company & we got confession from employee but still not filed FIR. we are afraid that we might not get recovery of embezzled money in current F.Y. but we can get money in subsequent F.Y.'s
