Quick Summary
This discussion examines whether a member of a Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) can claim a deduction for interest paid to the HUF on a loan taken for investment in a Fixed Deposit (FD). While one expert suggests it's not permissible as banking isn't the member's business, another expert holds a different view, stating that the interest paid can be claimed as a deduction against interest income, provided it's reasonable and there's a clear link between the loan and the FD investment.

For what purpose the loan was taken?

Loan was taken for investment in FD

In that case you will have to pay full amount of interest earned to HUF, as banking is not your business, and ITO would not allow such income distribution.

In short it means I can't pay interest to HUF as banking is not my business. Correct?

The reason is you have taken loan for investment in FD, which HUF can directly make investment.

Otherwise, you can take loan and if required, can pay interest to HUF also.

Thanks a lot for your valuable response.

You are welcome.              

I hold diifetent views. you can lain it as deduction under interest income, so long as it is reasonable and there is clear nexus between loan funds and investment in bank FD.
