Hello,
There is no hard & fast rule for the same
But it should be reasonable I.e. Not below the market rate of interest.
Dear Vinay,
1. None of the provisions of the companies act, provides for taking loans from directors, so if the articles of association provides for it, companies may take loans from directors as agreed upon between the parties.
2. Sec. 372A of the companies act, 1956 deals with intercorporate loans(sister concerns also) and rate of interest shall not be less than the bank rate prevailing, but this section does not apply to private companies which is not a subsidiary of public company.
