07 June 2013 Interest is allowable expense as per section 37(1) read with sec 43B of the Income Tax Act.

A decision of the Supreme Court in Lachmandas Mathuradas vs CIT 254 ITR 799 (SC) reiterated that interest on arrears of sales-tax or outstanding balance of sales tax is not penal but is compensatory in nature and an allowable tax deduction.
