Assessee has paid interest on unsecured loan, and did not charged interest on loans and advances given.
can AO assumed that assessee must have charged interest on loans and advances given ? and can AO make addition sum of interest on loans and advances at the same rate as on unsecured loan ?
Is it necessary to charge interest on loans and advances given when assessee has paid the interest on unsecured loan ??

Normally in most cases the AO makes addition of interest which is not charged on loans and advances given when he has paid interest on unsecured loans. This is because interest paid is claimed as deduction out of taxable income therefore the AO also scrutinizes whether any interest income is shown by the assessee on loans and advances given by him.

To the extant of your capital the ITO cannot charge interest if you have given free of interest. If the amount exceeds the capital then the interest paid shall be disallowed in proportionate to the capital and loan. There are court judgments on this issue
