no tax implication if such loan is taken or repaid by cheque or through fund transfer..... it is not mandatory to execute an agreememt. if you want to execute then you can do it on a non-judicial stamp paper of 1000 and above.

You will have to contact a lawyer and ask him to draft a loan agreement between you and your father-in-law stating all the terms and conditions. This agreement will be a documentary evidence when your account gets credited with the loan amount, and when your father-in-laws account gets credited with the repayment amount.

Doesnot a simple loan aggrement will do in this case? Does stamp paper of 100 will not suffice?

@ nitin.... it has to be a loan agreement, simple or complex is not the concern. regarding stamp paper, it would be better that you ask your stamp paper vendor what amt of stamp paper is reqd in your state for a loan agreement.
