Hi,

Is reversal entries in accounts permitted under companies act instead of deleting or modifying an accounting entry ?

Companies Act has not specified such reversal of transactions. But you can follow you can follow your own internal control mechanism

So it is not wrong to reverse a wrong transaction and pass the correct entry

Few accounting ERPs don't allow to modify or delete the accounting entry. So there is no wrong in doing so

You can treat it as generally accepted accounting policies/ principles.

That might be your internal control
