26 May 2010 As per the section 2(j) and 3 of law of limitation, a person has to claim the dues within 3 years from the close of the financial year in which the last transaction is entered in the account after which the debtor is not liable to pay. Hence a company can write back such balances after 3 years. However, the company can adopt its own policy for the same which should satisy the legal requirements also.
