I wanted to ask you that if loan is taken for purchase of shares &interest is paid on such shares to bank.Is such interest deductable from the dividend income received (indian company).please do answer my question as i know it is exempt from tax as ddt is paid.but i have a doubt about that deduction.

If the shares are held primarily for the purpose of trading in shares and dividend income is incidental to such income then no disallowance of interest paid will be made u/s 14A.
As per my knowledge, the company is not eligible to take loan from bank to invest in shares of other company. Please check your company's objects permit to do so.
