09 October 2013 Dear All,

I have a doubt relating to compliance certificate.

We have unsecured loan taken from the related party of the company .

Now whether this will come under both Sec 297 and 293(1)(d) ???

09 October 2013 Unsecured loans from relative party- 297 or 293 (1) (d)
Following sections affected
Sec 292 power of boards
372A if related party is company
295 if related party is director- loan to director
Deemed dividend under income tax act.
S.293(1)d – if borrowing exceeds capital – Shareholders approval

Rate of interest - ?
According to 372A interest rate shall not be lower than the prevailing bank rate. While 40A(2)(b) holds that the A.O is at the discretion of disallowance of any excessive or unreasonable expenditure made by the assesses to the parties as given in the section. So he might or might not disallow based on his discretion. Hence best is to take the prevailing bank rates prescribed by RBI Act.
Section 297 applies to all companies, public as well as private. BOARD’S CONSENT AND CENTRAL GOVERNMENT’S APPROVAL FOR CERTAIN CONTRACTS IN WHICH PARTICULAR DIRECTORS ARE INTERESTED [Sec. 297]
Accounting standard AS- 18 related party also apply.
