Yes. If the amount is more than Rs.20,000/- transactions should be by way of account payee cheque / demand draft. Since there is no interest, TDS provisions does not apply.

Sorry experts I do not agree with you. Yes the relatives can give interest free loan but can they give interest free loan to the relatives by borrowing the funds. The answer is NO. In this case the relative who is giving interest free loan will not get the deduction for interest paid on amount borrowed.
The reply is Yes the relatives can give interest free loans up to the extant of their capital and free reserves and that too by cheque if it exceeds 20,000 or more.
