26 September 2010 The debt has to be written off in the books of accounts and the same will be available as deduction. There are a number of case laws where it has been held that debt written off as bad is an allowable deduction.

26 September 2010 By virtue of Direct Tax laws (Amendment) Act,1987, w.e.f 1/4/1989, the assessee need not establish that the debt has become bad meaning thereby that mere writing off in the books of accounts is enough to allow deduction under section 36(1)(vii) of the Income tax Act,1961.
