Section 37(1) of the Income Tax Act is a residuary provision having tremendeous importance while computing income under the head “profits and gains from business or profession”. Expenditures which are not deductible under any specific provision are deductible under section 37(1), subject to fulfilment of conditions prescribed therein. These conditions are:

(i) expenditure must be revenue expenditure and not in the nature of capital expenditure;

(ii) it must be laid out or expended wholly and exclusively for the purpose of the business or profession carried on by the assessee;

(iii) it must not be of the nature described in sections 30 to 36;

(iv) expenditure should not be personal expenditure of the assessee;

(v) expenditure should have been incurred in the previous year; and

(vi) expenditure should not have been incurred for the purpose which is an offence or which is prohibited by law.

While running a business or profession various kinds of expenses have to be incurred. In order to determine their deductibility under section 37(1), one has to go through certain tests or principles based on the abovementioned conditions. Further, there is a huge case law bank which provides guidelines for determining the nature of a particular expenditure.
