Tax Tribunal Decision Upheld: Section 41(1) Inapplicable for Time-Barred Liabilities Without Deduction Claims.

Case Laws Income Tax HC

The High Court upheld the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal's decision to delete the addition made by the Assessing Officer u/s 41(1) of the Income Tax Act. The provisions of Section 41(1) require the assessee to have claimed an allowance or deduction in respect of a loan, expenditure, or trading liability, which was subsequently recovered or remitted. In the present case, the assessee had not claimed any such deduction, and the liability had become time-barred. Therefore, Section 41(1) could not be invoked merely because the payment of liability had become barred by limitation. The Tribunal correctly held that the provisions of Section 41(1) are inapplicable where the existence of liability itself is doubted, and the addition could have been made in the year the liability was claimed or treated as unexplained cash credit u/s 68.
