10 April 2011 Income Tax Act itself is clear. Notification is required when the sections are not clear.

.

The basic concept is -

.
The expenditure which is incurred to run the business; is allowed while computing the Income.

.

To pay advance tax late and then to pay interest thereon is not relating to running the business.

.

Hope it will make you clear.
