see excessive interest paid to related party can be disallowed under 40A(2)(b).
However, to disallow, the AO needs to establish that the said interest was excessive.
There are cases where 18% to 24% interest has been held as reasonable. please refer ACIT Vs.Raj Steel Industries, in ITA No.2245/Ahd/2010 and in the case of Vipul Y. Mehta Vs. ACIT, ITA No.869/Ahd/2010.
