It should not be disallowed if it was provided on account of commercial expediency

Refer S.A Builders Ltd. V CIT [2007] SC

In that case the loan which was given to the sister concern was carrying nil rate and yet there was no disallowance

SA Builders case is not to be taken as if any loans given to sister concerns will be allowed without any interest disallowance.  Courts are now taking a more specific view in this regard.  If it is a subsidiary company, then SA Builders might help, but sister concerns are different.  There are some instances in which such disallowance has been upheld inspite of SA Builders case.
