custom duty interest paid for delay is disallowed in income tax or not?

Quick Summary
Interest paid on delayed customs duty is generally allowed as a deduction for income tax purposes. This is because it's considered a revenue expenditure and not a penalty, which is disallowed. Any tax, duty, cess, or fee paid under law, including interest on these payments, is typically eligible for deduction.
Any tax, duty, cess or fee paid under any law in force is allowed as a deduction when it is paid- this includes GST, customs duty or any other taxes or cesses paid. Interest paid on these taxes are also eligible for deduction.
