No sir, Gst is on Goods and Services. So when you give loan there is no supply of Goods or Services. Interest is your income under head Income from other sources. So you need to pay income tax( if your total income is above 3L)not Gst.

Mr. Nagarajan,

Registration under Service Tax had been abolished since 1st July 2017. Now it comes under GST portals only. In case your turnover from finance charges will cross Rs.20 lacs, then you have to be registered under GST as well as GST output @ 18% is applicable on such charges.
