02 April 2020 Interest on Unsecured Loan booked in March and paid in April is allowable under Income Tax Act. The last date for payment of TDS of March 2020 is 30.04.2020 but you can defer it upto 30.06.2020. But interest cost has to be borne for this.

02 April 2020 Yes, the interest on unsecured loan will be allowed in FY 2019-20 even if the interest is paid in the month of April 2020.
TDS to be deducted only if the interest amount exceeds Rs. 5000 for the year.
Further, the due date for payment of TDS ifor the month of March 2020 is 30.04.2020 but that can be paid with lower interest rate of 9% upto 30.06.2020.
