Please refer the CA FInal Old Direct TAX suggested answer for Nov 2010 exam - Q.1 (B) for the same.
If the loan is for Capital Asset then waiver is not taxable as business income. If the loan is for business purpose then waiver is taxable as business income -
Whether the amount transferred to profit and loss account in case of waiver of loan
taken by assessee for business purposes assessable as business income under
section 41(1) of the Income-tax Act, 1961?
Solid Containers Ltd. v. DCIT (2009) 308 ITR 417 (Bom.)
Relevant Section: 41(1)
The assessee had taken a loan for business purposes which was written back and directly
credited to the reserves account, as a result of consent terms arrived at in a suit. The
assessee claimed this amount as capital receipt, even though it had offered the interest on
the said loan as its income by crediting the same to its profit and loss account. The Assessing
Officer added the amount to the total income of the assessee as its income and this was
upheld by the Tribunal.
The High Court held that it was a loan taken for trading activity and ultimately, upon waiver
the amount was retained in the business by the assessee. The amount had become the
assessee’s income and was assessable.

INCOME – CESSATION OF TRADING LIABILITY -
Sec 28(iv) & 41(1)-
Waiver of loan under a scheme formulated by Reserve Bank of India known as “One time Settlement
Scheme” assessee credited said waiver amount in general reserve account. The Tribunal held that
loan amount waived could not be treated as its income either under section 28(iv) or under section
41(1).
Loans availed by assessee from Banks were not in the nature of trading liability but were in nature of
capital liability and, therefore waiver, of loan liability was not waiver of any trading liability hence
the provision of section 41(1) was not applicable.

INCOME - REMISSION OR CESSATION OF TRADING
LIABILITY - LIMITATION OF TIME - Sec 41(1)-

written off ultimately in books of account and moreover there was no evidence to indicate that said

arise.

if the loan was for trading liability like for business purpose, then this will be your business profit and accordingly you have to credit the difference to profit & loss account.
if the loan was taken for Capital Asset, then credit the difference to the Asset or credit in the capital reserve account.
