GST is not applicabel on Interest. So there is no point of raising GST invoice and subsequently input to the party.

No, neither banks nor Non-Banking Financial Companies charge GST on the interest of a loan. GST, acronym for Goods and Services Tax, is applicable only for goods and services- availing any loan, home, personal, car or business is neither a service nor a good- hence, the ambit of GST does not include this aspect.

Its specifically covered under Services exempted by GST (entry 8).

Services by way of— (i) extending deposits, loans or advances in so far as the consideration is represented by way of interest or discount (other than interest involved in credit card services); (ii) inter se sale or purchase of foreign currency amongst banks or authorised dealers of foreign exchange or amongst banks and such dealers.
