03 September 2012 Yes. Interest on delayed payment of TDS is expenses only. you can debit as indirect expenses

But while computing book profit as per Income tax the same will be disallowed

That means this Late TDS interest expense will be taxable right?

01 August 2024 interest paid for late TDS payment is indeed an expense, and it will be taxable, but the expense itself is deductible under Section 37(1) of the Income Tax Act, reducing the taxable income of the company.
