A public Company can accept deposit subject to compying the provisions of Sec 58A, and  money can be taken from director only, if its taken from freinds or relatives then as per my understanding it will fall under purview of Sec 58A. 

2. Whether any declaration letter to be received from the lender of unsecured loan / Depositor and if so, format required?

As per my understanding, there is any such requirement, for detailed procedure pl. refere Sec 58A provisions.
