Loan from Directors and Members

Dear Friend,

Kindly appreciate Rule 2 Clause IX exempts only a Private Company from accepting Deposits from its Director etc...

As per my interpretation in your case Section-58A & Rules are applicable.

Regards 

Respected Sir,

First of all thanks for your reply but i have some few more doubts.

1) I asked for unsecured loans, so whether public deposits and unsecured loans are on and same things, i.e. both are covered under sec. 58A only ?

2) What about in case of private ltd. co. which is subsidiary of public co. ? Is this section applicable ?

3) Rule 2 Clause IX of the Companies (Acceptance of Deposits) Rules, 1975 was lastly amended in 2004, as follows :

" (ix) any amount received from a person who, at the time of the receipt of the amount, was a director of the company or any amount received from a relative of a director or its member by a private company :

“(ix) any amount received by a private company from a person who, at the time of the receipt of the amount, was a director, relative of director or member:

 Provided that the director or member, as the case may be, from whom money is received, furnishes to the company at the time of giving the money, a declaration in writing to the effect that the amount is not being given out of funds acquired by him by borrowing or accepting from others;”.

My question is if it gives exemption to private ltd. co. only than what was the need to amend the rule again in 2004.

Please clarify my doubts.

Thanks & Regards

Hi Shehzad,

As per the latest amendment in 2004, a public company can accept unsecured loans form its Directors.

Please see the  link given below which will  clear your doubts.

Further, I think that private company which is a subsidiary of public company will get the complete exemption as the rules do not say anything on subsidiaries

Hi Ekta,

thanks for ur reply.

Regarding public co., it is correct that loan can be taken from directors.

But as us said that, there is no mention about deemed public co. I would like to remind u that the definition of public co. incorporates private co. which is subsidiary of public co. So, in my opinion wherever it is mentioned public co., it should include private co. subsidiary of public co.

plz reply.

Hi Ekta,

U might be correct but can u substantiate ur explanation with some case laws or some circular making it clear that a Pvt. co. which is subsidiary of public co. is not to be construed as public co.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Shehzad ,

Presently, I  dont have any thing to substantialte my explaination . Lets hope others might help us

Hi Ekta,
