Deductibility of interest: interest on co-operative bank borrowings allowed only on actual payment, with specified exclusions.

Interest on loans or advances from co-operative banks will be allowable as a deduction only if actually paid on or before the due date of filing the return for the relevant previous year; exclusions apply to primary agricultural credit societies and primary co-operative agricultural and rural development banks, and statutory definitions for those terms are incorporated to define scope and application prospectively.
