A combined reading of section 36(1)iii) and 43B says interest PAID on the capital borrowed for the purpose of business is allowed as deduction . so if interest is paid to nationlized banks , shedulded banks deduction is allowed on payment basis (not just providing in books of accounts but actually paying it also) under 43B even with out applying the provisions of TDS as interest paid to banks does not come under 194A. if interest is PAID OR PROVIDED to others . the capital borrowed must be used for the purpose of business only, in the previous year in which interest is PAID OR PROVIDED, i think there is nothing to disallowe the interest you have asked for subject to full fillment of above conditions and if interest is paid to others TDS provisions are also to be kept in mind.
