This discussion clarifies whether funds received from a promoter (a private limited company) should be considered deposits requiring DPT 3 filing. The consensus is that such loans fall under the definition of exempted deposits as per Rule 12(1)(c)(xiii)(b) of the Companies Act 2013, specifically relating to loans from promoters or their relatives. Therefore, a DPT 3 return must be filed under the 'exempted deposit' category.
