Dear Deepesh
Under Sec 185 of Companies Act, 2013, loan includes any loan represented by a book debt.
This clause appears to be very dangerous as any book debt in the books
of the company, in the name of any Director or any other person in whom
the Director is interested will be treated as a loan. Hence, a company
can’t make "credit sales" or can’t accept any contract or provide any
service on credit basis to any person as more elucidated in Section 185.
Existing loans already provided by the company as on 12th Sep 2013 are not affected by the above provisions.However the same shall be renewed and repaid on due date.
Learned members views are solicited.
