Mr. Divesh,

Please elaborate the process of conversion of loan into equity in case Loan is taken under Old Companies Act without entering into any agreement before the receipt of loan. Since, PAS-3 requires attachment of copy of such contract.

Dear Mr. Kanhaiya,

I hope you must have gone through the process for conversion of loan into equity in case Loan is taken under Old Companies Act without entering into any agreement or with agreement wherein MGT 14 should not be applicable to file.

Kindly share the process if you have done it.

Thanks in advance.

Can anyone Provide me format of Special Resolution for take loan with the condition to convert such loan into Shares in future at the time of accepting of Loan{Proviso of subsection 3 of Section 62} and format of Terms to the Loan for conversion into Capital in future.

Thank you.
 

Comapny had raised a loan in earlier act when there was no requirement to file MGT -14 and now company wants to convert this loan into equity, can it do so, if yes, whether is it mandatory to file MGT-14 now? 

Why Special Resolution is required?

PLEASE PROVIDE THE FORMAT OF RESOLUTION TO BE FILLED AT THE TIME OF ACCEPTANCE OF UNSECURED LOAN.
