If the interest expense is not connected with your business income, it would not be allowed. But a more detailed case study is required based on facts so better you consult your CA in this regard. There are several favourable and unfavourable precedences in this regard.

AI Summary

Interest disallowance: lack of business nexus can lead to addition in income; seek detailed professional review. The central operative point is that interest expense is not allowable if not connected with the taxpayer's business income; determining allowability requires a detailed fact-specific study and professional advice because precedents on nexus and disallowance are mixed.
