19 August 2013 You are welcome Sonia…
372 A relates to Intercorporate loans and Investments. It basically says, that a company can give loan or advance to another company to the maximum of 100% of its free reserves or 60% of Paid up Capital plus free reserves, whichever is higher.
If the company wants to go beyond this limit, it has to pass a special resolution in a General Meeting
372A does not apply to following
1. Loan / Guarantee / Security / Investment made / given by:
A Bank, Insurance Company in ordinary course of business, Housing Finance Company,

A Company established with the object of financing industrial enterprises or providing
infrastructural facilities,

A Company whose principal business is the acquisition of shares, stock, debentures or
other securities,
A Private Company, unless it is a Subsidiary of a Public Company.

2. Investment made in shares allotted u/s 81(1)(a), i.e. Rights Shares,

3. Loan made by a Holding Company to its wholly – owned Subsidiary,

4. Guarantee given or security provided by a Holding Company, in respect of loan made to its
wholly – owned Subsidiary, or

5. Acquisition by a Holding Company by way of subscription, purchases or otherwise, the
securities of its wholly – owned Subsidiary.

Hope it is clear…if you have any doubts…feel free to ask
