If the transaction is a loan transaction, there is no question of GST on the recovery of principal lent, as the tax can only be on the consideration, and not for principal recovery. All earnings and charges other than interest or discount will be chargeable to GST. Lending of money is a supply of services, but an exempt service in terms of Item 8 of Exemption list.
