Section 37(1) Section 43B

Since assessee could not explain reasons for non-payment of interest expenses before due date of filing of return of income, AO was justified in making disallowance under section 43B.

Business disallowance under section 43B - Interest payable to bank - No evidence to prove payment before due date of filing of return -

Assessee claimed payment of Rs. 1,50,68,34,000 towards interest expenses, out of which interest of Rs. 2 crores was not deposited before due date of filing of return of income. Since assessee could not explain reasons for non-deposit before due date of filing return of income, AO disallowed the same and added to total income of assessee.

Assessee also could not produce any evidence regarding payment. Therefore, disallowance made by AO was justified.
