Assuming that interest remained payable from 01.04.2017 to till the date of payment say 31.08.2017. Interest for this finacial year is neither paid nor credited in the books of accounts at the time of repayment of the credit balance standing in the account of the creditor. In my view, there is no legal hurdle if you credit interest on 31st March and pay TDS U/s 194A.
