Genuine gifts are made out of own money. . A business man , who gifts certain amount out of borrowed funds...... does it sound good for a prudent business man ? . Still, if he want to extend support to his mother, he should bear the interest costs himself in his personal capacity ,and may extend interest free loan to his mother. .

Truly in support with CA Paras Bafna Ji, but as far as Income Tax Deptt. is concerned, they will not let the assesse take advantage of Interest and will disallow the Interest considered as expense from the p&l on the amount forwarded Interest Free or will consider a deemed Interest in the hands of assesse.
However, it is suggested to treat it such as Gift as the Money advanced to mother are not stamped with the Loan from Bank on it.
The Loan is Housing Loan, and only the Amount brought in the books are to be considered as Addition in capital in the books of Business.
