It should be shown as income as creditors written back. Directly showing it in capital account is leading to evasion of tax.
Thank you sir. I request to further clarrify as why it is Income.
Bcoz,
it's wrote as expenses in PYs ...
So, It's reversed as income...
Creditor aren't expense it's a liability.
creditor can be written off subject to some conditions.

Cr. Gain from creditors written off

 

The original transaction was a revenue expenditure. So the reversal transaction will also be a revenue income.
Writing off creditors
is certainly an income . But it's a balance sheet item.
