06 July 2023 Sir, one of my client lent Rs. 5.00 as unsecured loan to his friend. The friend neither refund the loan nor pays any interest to my client. My client has already written off the said loan in his mind. But for income-tax purpose, can my client show the loan as received vide cash ? Will there be any any complication in income -tax, if my client shows the said loan as received in cash ?
