what I am try to say is which one is beneficial . partners loan or firm's loan.
I think the interest on partners loan is restricted to 12% but if the loan taken from a bank in the name of the Firm, the total interest can be claimed as expenses. please suggest

18 October 2019 It depends not only the interest expenses that firm can claim , need for loan, is it temporary for short period or long period, whether operations are organised etc.

If operations are organised and looking for long term better go for bank loan.
