For loan transactions the following are necessary

1.identity of loan creditor

2.mode of receipt

3.Source from which the amount was given

Avlinte, the issue is that ur client have taken an interest free loan. Which mean that the genuiness of the transaction is doubted from the outset.

Secondly, as the loan provider is not a resident of India, its hard for the ITO to trace his source of income.

So first you have to provide the ITO that why the loan was given without interest and then accordingly proceed further.
