1.For claiming Bad Debts, the first requirement is existence of debt. Here Debt means debt arising in the normal course of business.
2. Unless X is not having the business of money lending as its main business activity, loans given can not be treated as
debt.
3. In my view, X will not be allowed the claim for Bad Debts from his business income. IT IS A CAPITAL LOSS AND TO BE WRITTEN OFF AGAINST CAPITAL ACCOUNT.

For writing off bad debts it should be a debt and it should be in due course of the business. If loan has been given to supply material or services to Y company then it can be treated as business debit.
