The ITAT Mumbai in the above cited case held that the surplus/savings arising on prepayment of deferred cannot be taxed u/s 28(iv) as by making prepayment of a future liabity at present value no monetary benefit arises to assessee as the savings it made by prepayment would get set off against the interest it loses by making prepayment.
The waiver of a portion of the loan would certainly tantamount to the value of a benefit. This benefit may not arise from the business of the assessee. But, it certainly arises from business. The absence of the prefix “the” to the word “business” makes a world of difference.
The loan transactions were on the capital account and the writing off the loan was also on capital account and did not find place in the Profit and Loss Account. Apart from this it has been found as a matter of fact that the assessee had not got the benefit of any allowance or deduction in the assessment for any prior year in respect of loss, expenditure or trading liability incurred by assessee.

ITAT Jaipur held In the case of M/s Brothers Pharma Pvt. Ltd. vs. ITO that the case laws referred by the CIT (A) are squarely distinguishable on the ground that there was a written off either by the assessee or bilaterally
Smt. Sumitra Devi Agarwal Vs. ITO (ITAT Jaipur)- The AO has questioned the genuineness of the liability and in absence of the requisite confirmation, has held the same to be a bogus liability. Where the liability itself has been held to be a bogus liability, where is the question of remission or cessation thereof.
ITAT Delhi has held in the case of Perfect Paradise Emporium Pvt. Ltd vs. ITO that If creditors are found bogus then the amount can be added back to income u/s 68 as unexplained cash credits or us 41(1) as business income.
The Supreme Court in CCIT vs. Kesaria Tea Co. Ltd. (2002) 20 SITC 172 (SC) has laid down that the resort to section 41(1) can be taken only if the liability of the assessee can be said to have ceased finally and there is no possibility or reviving it. Also, it has held that an unilateral action on the part of the assessee by way of writing-off the liability in its accounts does not necessarily mean that the liability ceased in the eye of law.
Section 41 (1) of the act provides treating of trading liability on cessation as deemed profit in business or profession. But section has to apply when there is benefit upon such cessation in form of any remission.
