27 June 2009 Clause 17A has been inserted towards amount inadmisible under section 23 of MSME Development Act, 2006.

opinion is required whether above interest is inadmisible and under which section of income tax act the same is disallowable.

Whether such interest can be treated as compensatory in nature & hence allowable even if it is penalty in nature in MSMED act

Yes the amount is inadmisible under income tax act and it is disallowable on a/c of MSME development act 2006.

it is like a penalty and penalties are specifically disallowable u/s 37.

29 June 2009 No.
It is expressely disallowed u/s 40.
So, it can't be treated as compensatory.
