Hi John, Its right that Interest on TDS is an allowable expense u/s 37(1). You can respond to the notice u/s 143(1)(a) through the Income tax website itself. Once you login to the website using the credentials, you will be able to trace the same notice which you have received in the website too. And there you will get the option either to agree or disagree on the disallowance and you can proceed accrodingly.
