issue shares on Rs. 90 premium. Our company is strugling from liquidty.. As per section 78 of companies act that
security premium can be used for issuing bonus shares, partly paid up shares into fully paid shares and so one... so

can public ltd co. take loan from promoters ? I think yes bu let me know under which section co. can take loan…
and second query we can not use security premium amount for working capital can we use prefential equity
amount for working capital?
Dear Pankaj,
1. Yes, public ltd co. can take loan from DIRECTORS of company. It is not covered under Deposits u/s 58A. Acceptace of loan from director is covered under exceptions in Acceptance of Deposit Rules.
2. Yes, you can use prefential equity amount for working capital, there is no restriction whatsoever.
Thanks

As per section 78(2), sec prem can not be used for making partly paid up shares into fully paid shares.
Pls read section 78 (2) carefully.
As far as your query is concerned, Pass following entry at the time of conversion of loan amount into equity :
LOAN A/C DR. 1.00 CRORE
TO SHARE CAPITAL A/C 10.00 LACS
TO SECURITIES PREMIUM A/C 90.00 LACS
Pls post if you have any other query regading this.
Thanks

Dear neha thanks for explanation of section. |
|
I am not asking for posting entry of conversion loan into equity.. |
|
I am asking is there any section in companies act that says security premium should have in separate account so that we could use it for specific purpose given in section 78. |

Dear Pankaj,
Yes you can issue shares to promoter group at premium on preferential basis for this you need to pass special resoltion and give the justificaiton of amount and comply with the Unlisted Public Companies Preferential Issue guidelines.
You can take deposits from directors and their relatives as well, however deposits from directors will be considered as exempted deposits.
