if a private Limited company time to time takes loan form the Directors and other Body Corporates then whether it is required to pass every time a Board Reolution for the same specify the amoutn of loan and the name of the Body Corporate or the Company can pass a single resolution that company can borrow money from the directors and other body corpoartes as required by the company with mutual consent ?
and whether every year a resolution is required or only one single resolution at first time when loan is made can be made?
Kindly advice?
whether there is different provision for the same of the Public Limited Company?
Please check the limit upto which board approve for taking loan from directors and if the loan is upto limit then no need to take further approval from Board.

Sir,
Kindly give me advice regarding the Board Resolution that is required at every time when the loan is taken or can be passed only one time ?
The Board meeting will decide the amount up to which a company will take loan from directors or others. The Board resolution has effect up to the amount mentioned and as and when the limit cross you will be required to hold new board meeting for further loan.
No need to pass board resolution for every step of taking loan from director.
