Conversion of loan into equity

3130 views 8 replies
One of the director had given loan of Rs.15 crores in 2012 by way of agreement to convert it into equity in future. Now the company wants to issue 1 crores shares to him and wants to convert loan into equity. Nominal value Rs.10 and premium Rs.5/-. Whether company is allowed to convert loan into equity shares with premium?

Yes, According to section 62(3), of Companies Act 2013, A Company can convert Loan into equity. Provided before aprooval of loan Company shall file special resolution in a general meeting and file Form mgt- 14 within 30 days of special Resolution. And after aprooval of Loan, Company shall hold board meeting and pass board resolution for conversion of loan into equity and further Company shall file PAS 3 for allotment of shares within 30 days of resolution and also further issue share certificates.

 

And as per section 62(4), where loan has been taken by a Company from the government and government think that it is for the public interest, it shall allow the conversion of Loan into equity subject to terms and conditions stated in the Agreement.

AGree with the learned member.

Thank you Sir..

AT THE TIME OF TAKING LOAN WHETHER THE COMPANY IS REQUIRED TO FILE MGT-14? IF COMPANY HAS TAKEN LOAN IN FY-2015-16 AND NOT INTIMATE ROC AT THAT TIME HOW IT CAN CONVERT LOAN INTO EQUITY? 

Although there is no link between the two events and you may easily complete the filing regarding allotment of shares. This is a default of section 179 and form MGT 14 should have been filed.

 

However, in case of private company section 179 is exempted by way of notification dated 5 june, 2015.

Yes, According to Section 179(3) (g), Every Public Company is required to File MGT 14, who has borrowed the money . IF MGT 14 IS NOT FILED, SURELY IT IS THE DEFAULT, AND FIRSTLY FOR the GOOD CORPORATE PRACTICES ROC SHOULD BE INFORMED IN FORM MGT 14. AND FILING MGT-14 IS EXEMPT FOR PRIVATE LIMITED COMPANY BUT THERE IS NO LINK BETWEEN TWO EVENT

COMPLETELY AGREE WITH MR.ANKUR

Thank you Mr. Jatin....
