I dont think the Private Company is allowed to borrow such money. Generally such loan taken will fall under the definition of 'Deposits' and Private companies cant take deposits from outsiders.

Other views are solicited.

Regards,
Pracheta

I agree with the views of Ms. Pracheta. 
 
Pvt. Companies cannot borrow money from persons who are not members, directors or relatives of directors.
 
Please refer Rule 2(b) of the Companies (Acceptance of Deposits) Rules, 1975 attached.

A loan is different from Deposit. Yes a Pvt Company cannot accept
deposits. But there is no bar to a get a loan from third party without
any collateral, which is called unsecured loan.

Dear all,
 
An unsecured loan from an individual (not being director or member and such loan is not out of borrowed funds) is deemed to be a deposit. Only inter corporate loans are exempted deposits.
 
Hence if any amount is borrowed from an individual being a third party, such unsecured loans will be considered as deposits. Ms. Pracheta & Rashmi M R  are right.
 
Thanks & regards

Dear all,

I agree with the previous mails. A private company cannot accept deposits except from director, their relatives and members. In this case, it's a loan from a firm - this is deemed as a deposit only. Hence, such a borrowing is not at all permissible. 
Please immediately take steps to repay the money and never show it in the annual filing with RoC. They definitely look into such deposits and undertake inspection.

Regards,
Usha G

Dear All,
 
I agree with all ur views it will amount to deposit not permissible, but if the amount is too huge go with the proposed views of  Mr. Lucky for issue a new or transfering some of shares from a willing member and making him or that firm a member and  transfer the same back to the Company once the amount is paid.   
 
Contrary views are welcome.
 
Regards,

Dear Friends,

1. Can a firm be a member of a company? (As per the department's circular No.4/72 dated 9-3-1972). Only natural or legal persons can be a members of a Company under the Act. I afraid, even you wish, you can not issue shares against the said unsecured loan/ deposit.

2. As one of the member suggested, pay back the money to the firm. Take it back from the individual partners of the firm and allot nominal shares.

3. Though you do this way, violation will always be there from the date of receipt of moneys from the firm and till the date of re-payment.

4. Moreover, any contravention to the provisions of prospectus and deposit rules is not compoundable.

5. Better dont show such transaction in the books.

Correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks and Regards,

Suresh Kumar V
Company Secretary
