Unsecured loans are mainly taken for the purpose of meeting the requirement of funds in the business.
*
Payment of interest on such loans definitely results into tax benefits to the borrower, but the interest out go is a bigger expenditure than the small tax savings.
*
Some times unsecured loans are available interest free, on which due to relationship, interest is not payable at all.
*
If funds are not required nobody will take Unsecured Loans.
*
Salaried persons are, generally, not getting any benefit for interest paid on such loans.
*
So borrowings are always need based.
*
In case of fictitious borrowings, tax saving aspect may fail when its genuineness can not be proved by the assessee.
