How pvt cos. will clear related party transactions now??

How private limited companies will clear related party transactions under CA 2013?

Sec.174: Interested directors cannot participate in discussions and vote even in private company.  Hence in  most of the cases Board will not be able to approve.
Alternative: Get it approved by members by special resolution u/s 188(1).
...
But here again as per second Proviso to Sec.188(1), related party members cannot vote in members' meeting also in any company (private or public)!!

There is no provision for central government approval also!

Solution: Transfer shares to non-related parties???

Meaning of Inetrested Director

“interested director” means a director who is in any way, whether by himself or through any of his relatives or firm, body corporate or other association of individuals in which he or any of his relatives is a partner, director or a member, interested in a contract or arrangement, or proposed contract or arrangement, entered into or to be entered into by or on behalf of a company;

If a company is making related party transaction and that transaction required approval either from Member in Genral mettings or In Board Metting then 

This section come into play and accordingly The related Director and Memeber shall not vote in the resoultion so are being passed. But the remaing director and member are not restricted to do So. hence the Related Party trasaction is still open but having with certain restriction.
