There are various information that I need to know to give a correct view on the said issue, Since your question is vague in nature please check the following table for suitable answer:
1.) Shareholder: Yes, can accept, but subject to the condition specified in deposit Rules
2.) Director/Relatives of Director Yes, can accept, but the director/relative will give a Declaration in writing that money is not given out of borrowed funds and company will disclose it in the Board’s report.
3.) Employee: Yes, can accept up to the employee’s annual salary ( there should be a contract of employment with the company) in the nature of non- interest bearing security deposit.
4.) Any other Individual: Can’t accept because it is prohibited by the definition of Private Company.
5.) Proprietorship Firm: Can’t accept because it can’t be director, Member or relative of Director.
6.) HUF: Can’t accept because it can’t be director, Member or relative of Director.
