Payment of interest on such loans definitely results into tax benefits to the borrower, but the interest out go is a bigger expenditure than the small tax savings.
*
Some times unsecured loans are available interest free, on which due to relationship, interest is not payable at all.
*
If funds are not required nobody will take Unsecured Loans.
*
Salaried persons are, generally, not getting any benefit for interest paid on such loans.

So borrowings are always need based.

In case of fictitious borrowings, tax saving aspect may fail when its genuineness can not be proved by the assessee.
