Rate of interest (on capital/loan) shall be as per partnership deed. However, maximum deduction of interest that will be allowed for firm under income tax act shall be @ 12% pa.
Journal entry for interest on capital/loan: Interest on capital/loan Dr To Capital (or current/loan) a/c as you maintain
You may pass journal for interest on loan for 2 months (apr & may) after 31st May at any time before end of FY or payment of interest, whichever is earlier.

Hope this is clear.
