17 June 2014 A private company is separate legal entity and profit/loss of the company is not your profit /loss. If there is profit, the company will retain the profit. If company distribute its profit, then shareholder will get dividend as per their share holding.

plz clearly state what types of investment is it.

17 June 2014 It should be treated as unsecured loan and interest should be paid on that loan

17 June 2014 company can not share profit with third party. plz go to consult professional by carrying agreement as each point should be read out carefully to decide what type of agreement it is.

17 June 2014 it is sort of JV. the problem is that you have not maintained separate books and PAN.

if the 5% was not a guaranteed amount, then just repay the principal. and close the transaction for good.

17 June 2014 @Nikhil, from his question it is not clear that it is JV. Sort of JV ? there is no such legal term like SORT OR JV. If it is JV, JV should have been formed.

17 June 2014 I am saying that he should have formed a JV. under his current position, with companies act 2013, it would reflect as a deposit from unrelated parties and consequences shall follow
