29 December 2012 Hi friends,

Can a private limited co. give guarantee for a third party ,i.e, for a person who is not director / shareholder / relative of share holder or director.

If yes, are there any restriction on giving guarantee? For eg. applicability of section 372A or any other sections.

Please give your opinion.
