In case of a proprietory concern, the proprietor receives a loan from his relative for purchasing a car for official use. He repays the loan with an interest @ 5% p.a. on a monthly basis. If the proprietory concern does not come under the tax audit category, will the interest be allowed as an expense as per Income Tax Act? Please Clarify.
