Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies income tax disallowance rules concerning interest paid on business loans. If TDS under Section 194A is not deducted on loan interest, a portion of the interest expense claimed in the Profit & Loss statement may be disallowed under Section 40(a)(ia). Even if part of the interest is written off to the capital account, the disallowance is calculated on the amount actually debited to the P&L. Consulting a tax professional is recommended for specific advice.

You're referring to a situation where: - Interest paid on a business loan is ₹1 crore - No TDS was deducted under Section 194A - ₹30 lakhs is disallowed under Section 40(a)(ia) - Only ₹70 lakhs is shown as interest paid in the Profit & Loss (P&L) statement - The remaining ₹30 lakhs is written off to the capital account In this case, you are still liable to disallow 30% on the ₹70 lakhs shown in the P&L statement, as per Section 40(a)(ia). The disallowance is calculated on the interest expense claimed in the P&L statement, which is ₹70 lakhs. Therefore, the disallowance would be ₹21 lakhs (30% of ₹70 lakhs). The fact that you have written off the remaining ₹30 lakhs to the capital account does not impact the disallowance calculation. Please note that this is a complex area of taxation, and it's always best to consult a tax professional or chartered accountant for personalized advice.

Have you taken loan from bank or FI, in that case TDS isn't applicable
