12 May 2013 There is no problem in 1 case, you can utilize your personal loan amount in trading.

In 2nd Case:-
The interest earned from providing loan to your wife is income and interest paid on personal loan is allowed as expenditure u/s 57.

But before this please make sure provisions of Section 269 SS are satisfied.
