22 April 2013 You can claim deduction of bad debts. You need to write off the same in books of accounts.

22 April 2013 After 1/4/1989, it is not necessary to establish that debt is irrecoverable,it is enough that the debt is written off in the accounts.

Section 36(1)(vii) and T.R.F Ltd Vs. CIT 190 Taxman 391 (SC) may be referred.
