20 October 2010 A company had taken a Unsecured loan from Director as well as from Relative of Director, but later on the Director ceased to be a director of the company.

What is the current status of the Unsecured loan of Director and as well as of relative of Director? Will it be treated as Deposit u/s 58A of the Companies Act,1956??

Best Regards,

20 October 2010 Position at the time of taking deposit should be seen. At that time there was no violation. hence it should not be violative of Section 58A.
