Respected experts ,
I requested to one of my best friend to lend me some money approx 1.5 lacs i will return it in monthly basis in installments ( interest free ) . He is not interested to take any extra amount .
If he transfer that amount in my saving bank account then will IT officer consider as my income and will affect my itr at the end of year or it will not be the part of my income ?

Right procedure to take loan from friend

Hello Erdeep,
Section 269SS states that 'a person should not accept or take any loan /deposit from any other person in a mode otherwise than by way of account payee cheque or account payee bank draft if the amount of loan to be accepted is Rs 20,000/- or more.
Since you're borrowing 1.5 lacs, you're clearly past the threshold. In my opinion, transfer of the loan amount in saving account does not satisfy conditions of Section 269SS.
To avoid any problem in future you should collect the following document of the lander be on safe side otherwise the ITO will make the addition u/s 68
1) Copy of the Bank Statement
2) Copy of confirmation with PAN No.
3) Copy of PAN Card.
4) Copy of Income Tax Return
5) Copy of Balance Sheet
Hope this was of help.

@ ansari sar :: My friend is transfering that amount through rtgs . Will i also have to request for his pan card and itr copy ??
If i return the money in installment ( less tahn 20,000 per month ) then will it be right ?
Payment via ECS is also allowed. 20,000 Limit is not per month but in aggregate. Citing relevant provisions for better understanding. To be on safe side you can have a loan agreement with nil interest and PAN
[I doubt lender will be willing to give his ITR or bank statement more so when he is helping you]
Important thing is that you should be in position to prove that this money does not belongs to you and is a loan , which should be satisfied on production of loan agreement and PAN of lender
