Finance Bill 2022 - Interest - Actual Payment - Income Tax Deduction - Taxscan

The Finance Bill, 2022 has provided the Clarification regarding deduction on payment of interest only on actual payment.

Certain taxpayers are claiming deduction under section 43B on account of conversion of interest payable on an existing loan into a debenture on the ground that such conversion is a constructive discharge of interest liability and, therefore, amounted to actual payment which has been upheld by several Courts.

The conversion of interest payable under clause (d), clause (da), and clause (e) of section 43B, into debenture or any other instrument by which liability to pay is deferred to a future date, shall also not be deemed to have been actually paid.
