Summary: Private companies are exempted from Section 185 provided they have no body corporate investors, maintain borrowings below the specified threshold (twice paid-up capital or ₹50 crore, whichever is lower), and have no outstanding loan defaults. Failure to meet these criteria makes the company subject to the standard provisions of Section 185.
