dada if the employer has charged 12% than how come you are calling it interest free???
furthermore income tax ordinance 2001 section 13(7) and 13(8)
caters the situation when loan is interest free or interest is lower than the bench mark rate however in the situation you presented neighther of two things are present.

and as no deductions are allowed under head salary thus employee wont be able to claim the benefit of interest paid as expense..neighter we would treart is as income of employee
