Hi,
I have a query if you can answer!!
We have made provision for interest expense on unsecured loan taken for procurement of inventory, as per our auditor it will be disallow u/s 36(1) (iii) as the company didn't pay interest to lender.
Menu
Interest on unsecured loan deduction u/s 36(1)(iii)
Replies (3)
it appears allowable but still you discuss with your auditor about the grounds for it's disallowance. May be company didn't pay and just provided.
1. Sec 36(1)(iii) deals with interest expenses in respect of the acquisition of an asset. Any interest paid from the date of acquisition and up to the period when the asset was first put to use will not be allowed as deduction.
2. Anyway in your case loan was obtained for the purchase of inventory. Sec 36(1)(iii) also covers this asset. However, interest should have actually been paid in order to claim deductions.
3. As per sec 43B interest expenses should have actually been paid for claiming the same as deductions. Since in your case no interests were paid. It will not be allowed as deduction. Your auditor was right in this matter.
Please correct me if the above solution has an alternative view.
@ Kapadia Pravin, yes company just provided interest on loan amount and deducted tds on interest amount, balance amount not paid.
@ Suresh, but 43B covers only 36(1)(ii) & not 36(1) (iii), we are providing interest on corporate unsecured loan
