Private Company is prohibited to accept any invitation or acceptance of unsecured loans/deposits from the persons other than its members, directors or their relatives. Therefore a private company can accept deposits through private arrangement from its members, directors and their relatives.

Rule 2(b)(ix) exempt any unsecured loan money received from directors and shareholders from the definition of deposits. According to Rule 2(b)(ix), any amount received from members of a private company limited by guarantee are not exempt.

Rule 3 of Companies (Acceptance of Deposits) Rules, 1975 deal with the limit upto which a company can accept deposits/ loans. Private company exempted this limit.

For any invitation and acceptance of unsecured loan/deposits from relatives of directors and member, the company will have to file a statement in lieu of advertisement in accordance with the provisions of Rule 4A of the Companies (Acceptance of Deposits) Rules, 1975. The company will also have to file annual return of deposits in accordance with Rule 10.

19 March 2012 i Agree with Mr.Ajay Mishra , Pvt Company is prohibited to accept deposit other than from its members, Directors and their relatives. Therefore a Pvt company cannot accept loan/deposit from partnership firm But Here Every partners of that partnership firm are members of this Private Company. So please clarify.

19 March 2012 public company accept loan from its director then it would be considered as public deposit.

However accepting loan from a company is considered as inter corporate loan u/s 372A and not covered by deposit provisions.
