Hi 

if any personal loan is unpaid then will it be treated as income or capitalised?

Quick Summary
This discussion explores how an unpaid personal loan is treated in accounting. Initially, it's considered a liability until external confirmation. Some suggest treating it as income in personal books, while others argue it should be capitalised. The consensus leans towards it being treated as income, especially for significant amounts, unless it's not formally recorded.

It will be under liability till the external confirmation received.

You may need to treat it as income
In personal books.
If no confirmation is received then it remains as loan under liabilities

After receiving confirmation can it be treated as income? The amount is approx 50lakhs

Yes. It should be income only
No, It's not an income.
It's will capitalize...
If it is not entered or registered in books then it is ok
