A Pvt. Ltd. Co. can accept deposits only from members, directors or their relatives.
Clause ix says: any amount received by a private company from a person who, at the time of the receipt of the amount, was a director, relative of director or member.
Loans from partnership does not fall under any category of exempt deposits. In my view, it cannot be taken, since partnership does not have a seperate legal entity.

A private company can allow loans from a firm where all the partners are shareholders of the company. The provisions regarding acceptance of loans and deposits by a private company are very less stringent or in many cases not applicable to private company. So, there is no problem in your case for accepting loans from the firm. However, there may arise a problem in advancing loan to the related parties in case of a private companies or closely held public companies, as the Sections of deemed dividend my come into picture.

There is no need for a circular. The Companies Act has not restricted the acceptance of loans, secured or unsecured, from directors, their friends or relatives. The only restriction is that it cannot accept deposits or loans from a public at a large by issue of prospectus or any similar document. So, if it is not restricted, it means that it is allowed.
