1. Only those expenses which are incurred to earn the income are allowed to be deducted from such income.
2. In this case, the loan was NOT taken to invest in fixed deposits.
Accordingly, interest paid on loan shall NOT be allowed as deduction from interest received on fixed deposits.

Loan interest can't be set off against FD interest vide Supreme Court decision in CIT V Dr. V.P. Gopinathan (248) ITR 449.

Dear Mr. B Chakrapani,
I respect the Decision of Hon'ble SC. We have studied the same principle in Academics and applying in daily Practice.
But, what sec 57 (iii) says expenditure EXPENDED wholly and exclusively for the purpose of making and earning the income is deductible.
In my opinion, the test is to be carried out for what Interest has been expended not the initial purpose. Though fund were borrowed for Capital Project and Interest was suppose to expend on same but in actual it has expended on making and earning interest income on FD.
Hence, Court should take this view and accordingly should give allowance for the same.
