Dear experts, Can I charge 1.5% rate of interest from my customer to whom I have given a personal loan ? Is this allowable under income tax act ? Please guide.

Yes, and the income will also be taxable. If the money is lent on account of commercial considerations/ in relation to the business which you are carrying, then it would be taxable under the head of PGBP. Otherwise, it may be taxable u/h of Income from Other Sources.
