Global Tax Update : June 2018 / India
The Supreme Court of India in one of its judgement has held that waiver of loan, used for acquisition of capital assets, by the creditors does not result in either any benefit arising from business or profession or cessation of trading liability in the hands of the debtor. Therefore, it held that, based on the facts of the case, such receipt in the hands of the debtor is not taxable.
