Set-off of Debtors and Creditors

 "As per accounting every transaction is required entry in books, but i think sett off is not allowed in income tax , But there is no need to first pay and than recieve or vise versa.

wait for expert comments.

Nothing as such written in income tax therefore you can do it. 

I can remember rule 6DD where payment is made by book entry S 40A(3) is not applicable

In my view there is nothing wrong in adjusting the debit balance against the credit balance. Now a days there are lot of Barter agreement among the corporate where in one company sell their services in lieu of some other services as per business need of each other.

Hi,

I have same issue but it is regarding presentation of the same in final accounts. Whether debit and credit of a same party can be set off in the following cases:

1)Advance given to X Rs. 100 against a Purchase Order; but invoice came for Rs. 70 for another Purchase Order.

2)Debit balance(Rs.100) appearing in Advance for Capital Goods but credit balance(Rs. 120) appearing in Creditors for Raw Materials

3)Advance given Rs. 150 for a work; work done but invoice not yet come, so provision taken for Rs. 150.
