Dear Experts -

We had a shareholder in the Private Limited company who had given some loan to the company (~Rs 13.5 lacs). This shareholder now has transferred their share and are no longer shareholder or Director in company. The loan continues to be on the books.

Questions

- Is there any issue if the loan from previous shareholder continues on the books ? Is this with-in MCA guidelines?

- This person due to legal issue with government is unable to operate a bank account - is it fine if we return this slowly as cash to them and what documentation do we need to put together if we do that. Thank you for your guidance. Sameer

- What are some other ways to close this loan?

Thank you

Sameer

In nutshell, a person cannot repay the loan or deposit in cash, if the amount is Rs. 20,000 or more.
