Provision for a society Cadre Fund was held deductible as business expenditure under section 37 because it constituted a present obligation under AS 29, with probable outflow and reliable estimation, and therefore was not a contingent liability. Applying Bharat Earth Movers, the Tribunal held that a business liability once incurred and reasonably estimable remains deductible even if discharged later.

The addition was directed to be deleted.
