Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether interest charged or paid in trading transactions attracts Goods and Services Tax (GST). According to Section 15(2)(d) of the CGST Act 2017, interest related to business payment transactions is generally taxable. Only interest on loans, advances, or deposits is exempt. For delayed payments, GST is applicable and should be accounted for via debit notes, with the time of supply being upon receipt of the interest amount.

Yes , as per section 15 (2) (d ) of the CGST act 2017 , Gst applicable on Interest charge by you and supplier .
This type of interest ur terms & condition relate ur business payment transaction,It follow previously by trade community.
Only that interest which is having the bearance on loans, advances or deposits is Exempt service.. Interest on delayed consideration payment will be taxable by issuing debit notes as it is after supply.

Agree with the above. Also time of supply against such interest is upon receipt of the amount and not supply of goods/services. 

Yes agree with CA Akshay Ji..
you need to deposit the tax only when you received interest amount. (Reference Section 12(6) CGST Act)
It is an expense like fright, insurance for delay in payment. Section 12(6) give a provision to the dealer.But, how did issue an invoice by supplier for this provision conducted by him?
