Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether interest paid on delayed TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) deposits is an allowable business expense. The consensus, supported by a ruling from ITAT Kolkata in the case of DCIT Vs M/s. Rungta Mines Ltd, is that such interest is indeed allowable. This is because the TDS amount represents the tax liability of a third party, not the assessee's own tax, making the interest paid on its delayed deposit a legitimate business expense under Section 37(1).

Your query is not cleared...
Can You elaborate with more details...?
DCIT Vs M/s. Rungta Mines Ltd (ITAT Kolkata)

Conclusion: Interest expenses claimed by assessee on account of delayed deposit of TDS liability was allowable under section 37(1) as the TDS amount did not represent the tax of  assessee but it was the tax of the party which had been paid by assessee
Yes, interests paid on delay payment of TDS is allowed as expenses.
