Admittedly, these credits continued to be carried forward year after year. In the normal course everybody would ordinarily claim the dues and usually they take steps to recover the dues if it is a genuine liability. In this case, the liability remains to be recovered year after year. For invoking provisions of section 68 of the Act, if any sum is to be found credited in the books of the assessee maintained during the previous year, only then it would be possible to make addition under section68 of the Income tax Act. In the case of carried forward credit, which is from earlier year, provisions of section 68 cannot be applied. In the present case, the liabilities outstanding in the books of account of the assessee for the assessment year under consideration and only the provisions of the section 41(1) of the Act could be applied. In the present case the assessee failed to establish the actual existence of the impugned disputed amount in the books of account of the assessee. The assessee has drawn its balance sheet based on its books of account, in which the above amount, were being claimed as liabilities due, to various parties, as at the end of the accounting year under dispute. However, the assessee failed to establish the genuineness of these liabilities by producing supporting evidence. Simply the liabilities being reflected against certain names in the books of account would not establish the genuineness of liabilities (<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/itatonline.org\/archives\/ito-vs-shailesh-d-shah-yusuf-r-tanwar-vs-ito-itat-mumbai-s-411-liability-outstanding-for-long-period-of-time-is-assessable-as-income-despite-no-write-back-in-acs-if-assessee-unable-to-prove-gen\/\">ITO vs. Shailesh D.
