It depends on whether it is Compensatory interest or Penal interest..
Penal interest will not be allowed for Income Tax purposes..
However, Compensatory interest on Excise & Sales tax shall be allowed for Income Tax purposes

Interest paid on Excise and Custom is allowable expenditure. Whereas interest paid of TDS And income tax is not allowable
