 the directors are also shareholders. After the withdrawal of the exemption, unsecured borrowings from directors, along with the other categories, cannot exceed 10 per cent of the aggregate paid-up share capital and free reserves of the company in terms of Rule 3(2)(i).

Hence, these deposits cannot also exceed the 10 per cent limit where the directors are also shareholders. To avoid this situation, directors who have lent money to companies by way of unsecured loan would like to give up their membership in order to come under Rule 3(2)(ii), under which, a company can accept deposits from "others" up to 25 per cent of its paid-up capital and free reserves.
