Acceptance of deposit rules, 1975 also provides that that the deposit accepted by the private company from above persons shall be treated as exempted deposit.
Accordingly, under section 3(1)(iii) read with Acceptance of deposit Rules, 1975 a private company cannot invite or accept deposit other than its members, director or their relatives.
However, as far as loan is concern, it can accept loan from others as well.. but cannot invite from public.
