29 April 2014 Thanks for your replay Sir.
I have one doubt.
The Loan Payable account under which head?
In current Liabilities or Secured Loans?
Should we post the whole interest amount as interest payable ?

29 April 2014 it becomes payable only on month end. you need to follow accrual principle. given that you pay EMI immediately, no need to book payable entry.

29 April 2014 If u close the company on 31/12/2014. the books must shows the actual liability of the co which includes the liability of the interest payable. So there is a need to show the interest payable. So I put the deferred interest

29 April 2014 sorry thats not how you do accrual accounting. you book interest as payable on the date on which books are drawn. Interest payable till 31 dec, if not paid, shall be shown as payable.
