Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies that there's generally no legal restriction on the rate of interest an educational trust society can pay for an unsecured loan. However, if the lender is a related party, tax authorities may disallow any interest deemed excessive compared to market rates under Section 40A(2)(b).

There is no such restriction for rate of interest....

you can pay any rate of interest...
But if lender is Related party then A.O may disallow excessive interest u/s 40A(2)(b)
