Generally, interest paid on capital borrowed for business purposes is tax-deductible without a limit. However, restrictions apply if interest is paid to non-resident associated enterprises, limited to 30% of EBITDA, with excess carried forward. Interest on loans for capital assets has specific rules regarding deductibility.

20 August 2023 Any interest paid by a taxpayer on capital borrowed for the purposes of the taxpayer’s business or profession is tax-deductible without any limit. However, if such interest is paid to certain related persons (non-resident associated enterprise), then, the interest expense will be restricted to 30% of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA). Excess interest expenditure disallowed in that year can be carried forward for eight years and would be available for set-off. If the capital is borrowed for acquiring a capital asset, then interest liability pertaining to the period until the time the asset is used cannot be allowed as a tax-deductible expense and will have to be added to the cost of such asset.

There are some specific guidelines for interest deduction being prescribed in ICDS.
