Section 73

According to Section 73, a company shall, before 30th April of each year, transfer a sum which shall not be less than 20% of the amount of it's deposits maturing during the following financial year, in a separate bank account to be called deposit repayment reserve account.

Eg - In the FY 2019-20, the maturing deposits are of Rs. 70 lakh and in the FY 2020-21, the maturing deposits are of Rs. 30 lakh.

My question is : What amount would be transferred during both the years?

Talking about FY 2019-20, would it be 20% of (70+30) lakh or 20% of 70 lakh.

Answer please.

Quick Summary
Section 73 mandates that companies must transfer at least 20% of their deposits maturing in the upcoming financial year into a dedicated 'deposit repayment reserve account' by April 30th each year. The calculation is based on the deposits maturing specifically within that following financial year, not a cumulative total. For instance, if deposits maturing in FY 2020-21 are £100 crore, the company must transfer £20 crore to the reserve account.

The Co. is required to deposit, on or before 30th of April each year, at least 20% of the amount of its deposits maturing during the following financial year.
So if in the FY 2020-21 the deposits maturing amount is 100 cr then the amount will be 20 Lakh. And if the deposits maturing amount is 30 lakh then the amount will be 6 lakh.
As clearly written in the section that the deposits maturing during the following FY that amount need to transfer the account called deposit repayment reserve account.
Okay.. Thank you
