Abstract

Contingent claims are recorded as income till the crystallization of the liability, if any. Consequently, it is difficult to classify it either as income or expenditure. The tax implications arising from such contingent liabilities in commercial banking industry are discussed. The study is based on reports of commercial banks from 1990-1996. The effect of contingent liabilities on financial leverage of the bank is also examined.
