no addition can be made to your taxable income in form of notional/deemed interest on account of interest free loans given unless following conditions are met:
1. The assessee has taken interest bearing loans and has given interest free loans; and
2. the AO is able to establish clear nexus between the interest bearing funds and interest free advances.
You can refer to judgments in the case of Ravindra Kumar Sharma v. ITO (ITA No. 905/Jp/2005)
CIT v. Shoorji Vallabhdas & Co., 46 ITR 144 (SC)
Having said the above, you might still be required to furnish KYC details of the borrowers, sources of your funds etc. Otherwise, money laundering implications may arise as Tushar has suggested
