<h1>Supreme Court Confirms: No Need to Prove Irrecoverability for Bad Debt Deductions Under Income-Tax Act, Section 36(1)(vii.</h1> The circular from the Central Board of Direct Taxes addresses the admissibility of bad debt deductions under the Income-Tax Act, 1961. It clarifies that after the amendment of the Act effective from April 1, 1989, it is not necessary for the assessee to prove that a debt is irrecoverable to claim a deduction under section 36(1)(vii). The Supreme Court's ruling in the case of a company confirmed that writing off the debt as irrecoverable in the books is sufficient. Consequently, no further appeals should be filed on this matter, and existing appeals should be withdrawn.
