Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Bombay High Court affirming the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal's ruling that allowed Khyati Realtors Pvt. Ltd. to write off ₹ 10 crores as a bad debt. The court reasoned that the amount was deposited for a project that did not progress, and the assessee had made reasonable efforts to recover the amount. The ruling clarifies the conditions under which a debt can be considered bad under the Income Tax Act.
