Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether interest paid on Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) and penalties for late filing of TDS returns are considered allowable expenses under Section 37 of the Income Tax Act. The general consensus is that such payments, being penalties for violating tax laws, are not allowable as business expenditure.

Not allowable
Amount paid for violation of law is disallowed under income tax act
So it's not violation but a penalty fees, a sort of income for the dept.
Late payment and late filing of tds are violation of law only.
Why penalty is imposed because it restricts the assesse to delay in filing of returns , it also helps in disposal of notice in the right manner. So it's a minor violation.If it a gross violation then there are instances to deal with it
