21 October 2021 Respected sir,
Actually I had shown sundry creditors of Rs 1000000/- in F Y 18-19. But still I have not paid them.
Is any time limit to pay to unpaid creditors under income tax ?
If i will not pay to them to some more years , what will the effect ?
Is any rule to add such unpaid creditors amount to income ?

Please give your valuable response

22 October 2021 1.As such no.
2. Will continue to reflect in Balance Sheet, until you add back it to P&L acc.
3. ITO may impose sec. 41(1) of it act, and add the amount to income.

22 October 2021 Usually during scrutiny, if reason for the non-payment not satisfactorily replied.
No specific time limit in the act, but roughly after 7/8 years...
