1. yes it is possible to give interest free loan but refer point no. 3
2. ideal interest rate should be in line with SBI lending rate, however higher rate can be kept since loan is unsecured but should not be too high compared to sbi rate.
3. if interest on loan is not charged then you have to think from Mr. Y's point of view. Because, if Mr. Y is using borrowed fund for his own business and he is paying interest, then logically he cannot give interest free loan to anybody. so at that time whatever interest is claimed by him may be disallowed.
This is only if you want to take care of others, otherwise you can take interest free loan.

there is no rule anywhere specifically mentions that rate shall be taken at sbi's rate...when interest free loan is given.

Tushar, i have not adhered to take SBI rate, you are right that there is no specification from IT laws. But for justification purpose it becomes strong on our part for interest rate if assessment would carry out by ITD. And for mentioning answer in respect of interest rate, i have answered on query no. 2 of Mr. Sahoo.
