31 January 2015 No it is not allowable. Supreme Court in one of its decision has held that the interest on delayed payment of taxes would take the same colour that of income tax and it cannot be held to be wholly and exclusively for the purposes of business hence not allowed to be deducted. refer Bharat Commerce and Industries Ltd. 230 ITR 733 (SC)
