Interest can be levied on unsecured loans. Rate of interest should not be more than the prevailing bank lending rate. Pl also see the applicability of TDS provisions in section 194A.

There is no limit as such.But Assessing officer generally does not allow more than 30% rate of interest payment (24% on the safer side) and may add back the extra interest charged to P&L.

I agree that there is no % limit for such interest payment in the IT Act,1961. But
this 24 % and 30 % affair is a violation of the provisions of Money Lending Act of the respective states. If viewed in this angle, will a higher rate than the bank rate have any effect so as to come with in the ambit of the explanation to section 37 of the Income tax Act,1961.

Yes Sir I totally agree with your explanation. Well there is no such limit of providing interest but if the interest payment is more than the prevailing market/Bank lending rates then the Assessee s'd be ready for justification for doing so when such case falls under scrutiny.
