Remission of Secured Loan - Whether Taxable

1255 views 3 replies
I would like to know from the learned members as to whether Principal  and Accrued Interest waived off by a financial institution under a One time Settlement Scheme would be liable to income tax in the year of waiver. Also, please note the fact that the company is question is an Agriculatural Company whose income is exempt u/s 10 of the Income Tax Act. The said Loan is treated as a Secured Loan in the books of accounts as at 31.3.2005.

The remission of loan by the Financial Institutions in case of an assessee who is not engaged in the business of Financing is neither taxable u/s 41 nor u/s 28.

The money borrowed is categorised as Loan and is on Capital Account. The remission is also on Capital account.
in my view,this is a capital reciept and not taxable u/s 41 or other section
no
