Sure! Here’s the legal basis and relevant provisions for a **Private Limited Company (Pvt Ltd) taking a loan from another Private Limited Company** under Indian law:
---
### Can a Pvt Ltd company take loan from another Pvt Ltd company?
* **Yes, a Pvt Ltd company can take a loan from another Pvt Ltd company**, subject to compliance with provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and other applicable laws.
---
### Relevant Provisions & Sections:
1. **Companies Act, 2013:**
* **Section 185**:
Deals with **loan to directors and related persons** — restricts loans to directors and their relatives unless in compliance with conditions.
(If the loan is between two companies and no director is involved as a related party, then Section 185 may not be triggered.)
* **Section 186**:
This is the **most important provision governing loans and investments by companies**.
* A company can give loans or make investments up to certain prescribed limits (typically 60% of paid-up share capital, free reserves, and securities premium or 100% of free reserves and securities premium, whichever is higher) without prior approval by the shareholders.
* If the loan amount exceeds prescribed limits, **prior approval of shareholders by special resolution** is required.
* The company must disclose such loans and investments in its financial statements.
2. **Indian Contract Act, 1872:**
* Governs the contract between the two companies for the loan agreement (terms, interest, repayment, etc.).
3. **Income Tax Act, 1961:**
