No. As per Entry No. 27 of Notification No. 12/2017, services by way of extending deposits, loans, or advances are exempt from GST, provided the consideration is represented solely by interest or discount. Even Under Schedule II of the CGST Act, interest on loans is specifically excluded from the definition of taxable supply.
