1) The amount taken from outside is shown as loan and the amount paid as interest is charged from P/L/ a/c.If the amount paid by partner, then at its option u shall take it as capital provided that agreed by partnership deed
2)Where the amount paid more than Rs.20000 by way of cash sec 40A(3) gets attracted and whole amount shall disallowed .The amount of loan is reduced by the amount paid by firm
In the first case, it would be better to show it as a capital coz since the firm has a turnover of 98lakhs, it would be liable for tax audit. As per Sec.269SS, 269T of the Income tax act, no loans or advances should be taken or given in excess of Rs.20,000 in cash otherwise than a/c payee cheque. So the firm would face a problem if their returns are picked up for scrutiny.
Will let you know about your second query shortly.

As Daya Shankar said u can show the amount as interest on capital and debit it to P&L a/c. But keep in mind that the interest payable on partner's capital should be contained in the partnership deed. Of course you can have the deed amended though.
