08 August 2015 Dear John Sir

I was also thinking of passing the same entry but then I thought if I pass this entry then my balance in bank charges will go ZERO.

If my balance goes ZERO then how will I be able to claim its deduction in income tax.

Am I thinking right

OR

Bcoz I recovered bank charges from Y, this is no longer my business expense and I am not entitled to its deduction in income tax.

08 August 2015 The expense is not incurred by you. So, you can't claim it.

Expense took place only because of the fault of the other person. So, it has to be recovered from him.
