Dear Sir, Interest paid by sugar mill on late Cane payment to farmer will be consider as taxable income from other sources or It would be consider as a part of exempt agriculture income.

In my opinion the late payment charges are compensatory in nature and the compensation or interest is being paid on the amount due to the farmer. It is farmer's interest income and it is taxable under the head Income from Other Sources. .
