Later on the financial position of company worsened and now after years, the loan repayment has been agreed to settle for Rs 60 Crores as full and final payment. Now in the books, since the loan is standing at Rs 100 Cr. What would happen to the balance of Rs 40 Crores. Would it be taxable at full rates treating the same as income? Please guide.

Waiver of trading liability is taxable however loan from bank is of capital nature hence not taxable.
