In income tax using money of friends and relatives in business as unsecured loans and paying interest on same is a common way of tax planning. However, in every state there is a law for regulation of money lending (like Uttar Pradesh regulation of money lending Act operational in state of U.P.), which requires a person to get himself registered before starting a moneylending business. My query is whether such lending by friends and relatives also require registeration under such Acts and if not then how such exemption from registeration has to be claimed.
