Interest on delayed statutory payments was held allowable as compensatory in nature, so disallowance of interest on delayed PF, ESI and service tax payments was not sustained. Cash payment disallowance under section 40A(3) failed because the assessee produced books, labour records and attendance material, and no specific payment to a single person in a day above the statutory threshold was identified.
