15 June 2011 Income tax is not a permissible deduction u/s 37. So any interest payable for the default committed by the assessee in discharging its statutory obligation under the IT Act,1961 which is calculated with reference to the tax or income cannot be allowed as a business expenditure meaning thereby disallowance is warranted.
