I have given loan to few people without interest through cheque/ bank .............there is loan agreement signed by him and his gurantor has also signed gurantee paper...............they have also given me cheque and promissory note......................would it be considered money lending is there anything illegal ( as I have given loan without interest)
If you go on lending such interest free loans then it will be deemed as money lending business even though you are not receiving any interest. If you would like to continue such business you get registered as Society/NGO.

Agree with Kishan Dutt. Altruism is good but it doesn't work in money lending business as you are lending money without interest.

Giving loan or lending money to support any lawful cause is not illegal.In your case you did all right things to safeguard your interest for recovery. You may file money recovery suits, no doubt. The question you asked whether money lending illegal to answer it not unless you obtain proper money lending licence . In your given case it cannot be proved as money lending on interest. May be supported by cause of assistance on humanity ground.

Are the cheques given to you signed, but undated and blank?
