Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether payments made for traffic violations, such as challans, can be deducted under Section 37 of the P&L. The consensus is that such penalties are not allowable expenses. This is because payments for offences or illegal acts, which are not compensatory, are explicitly disallowed as deductions according to Section 37(1) and its accompanying explanation.

NO , NOT ALLOWED 

Please can you give reference to some section for proving this.
Penalty / Fine for Traffic Violation not allowable

payments made for any purpose which is an offence or which is prohibited by law and which are not compensatory in nature cannot be allowed as a deduction u/s.37(1) read with Explanation thereto.
