04 December 2016 As per Section 72(2) read with Rule 2(1)(x) of Companies (Acceptance of Deposits) Rules 2014:
"any amount received from an employee of the company not exceeding his annual salary under a contract of employment with the company in the nature of non-interest bearing security deposit" will not be considered a deposit. Other than the above, any other loan from an employee will be treated as a deposit.

It is not that loan from an employee is prohibited. Just that it will be treated as a deposit if it does not fall within the above rule. Once it is treated as a deposit there are lot of compliance issues and because of which it is generally not economical to accept a loan which is being treated as a deposit.
