24 September 2008 1)As per Sec 40(a)(i)(a)if TDS not deducted for an expense, that expense can't be allowed in tax computation. It will be allowed as a deduction in computing the total income of the PY in which the tax has been paid.Hence apply for TAN and deduct the tax.

24 September 2008 Under the head income from business or profession interest paid will be allowed if interest income is also declared.
If shown under the head other sources interest paid will not be allowed u/s 57 as per supreme court ruling in Dr. v.p gopinathan's case.
