Moreover, as per Section 372A(2)prior approval of the financial instiution is required in the case of any term loan is subsisting. However, if the loan amount does not exceed the limit of 60% and there is no defult in repaymen of laon than no approval from the financial institution are necessary.

Further, in case the directors of the Company x (Public Limited Company) is also director or relative of director is director in Company Y (private limited) than in that case Section 295 will be applicable.

Further, as per private limited defination private limited company is not allowed to obtain deposit from public except its directors and members. Therefore, in view of the said provision it is advisable to make other body corporate as member of the company by allotting one share.

If we refer defination of deposit given under section 58A, it covers loan of any nature.
