Allowed as business expense in case of proprietary concern. for partner and shareholder you can adjust the amount by way of increase in remuneration. In either case it can't be allowed as dividend

Interest expense allowed against dividend income or income in respect of units of a mutual fund subject to max. 20% of such income as per sec 57 of income tax act.

A loan may or may not be a current asset depending on a few conditions. A current asset is any asset that will provide an economic value for or within one year. If a party takes out a loan, they receive cash, which is a current asset, but the loan amount is also added as a liability on the balance sheet.
