In FY20-21, a Pvt Ltd Co (having 2 Directors) has given some advance to it's Director and such advance is standing in the books as at 31-03-2021. Queries are listed as under- 
(a) Whether Section 185 will attract to such Co?
(b) No Resolution was passed (MGT-14 also not filed) when such loan was given by Co to it's Director. What will be the consequences of the same?
(c) What other non-compliance have been associated with above facts in question?

Thanks and Regards

Thanks for your inputs.
In my case, the Co in question satisfies the three conditions as stated above (since no loan taken from bank till since it's incorporation and no body corporate is it's shareholder/invested any money in the co)
But what about the resolution/ MGT-14 with respect to such Advance made by Co to it's Director? Is the Co require to file the same?

In your case non compliance of Section 185 is attracted.


Since the Section has been replaced by a new section, the exemptions as applicable in the earlier section are no longer in force.
If you check the E book of MCA, the exemption will be visible only if you view the older section in original content only.

No, since it satisfies the three conditions, so no MGT 14 is required to be submitted.

@ Mr. Rajat- Yes, you're right. Provisions of Section 2(22)(e) shall attract and they have been properly complied by the Co. in our case. Thanks for your valuable inputs.

Hi Arjun Sir! In my view,  Section 185 will not attract in your case and I agree with the response of Neelam Ma'am. 
Also, I request Ms. Vratika to kindly elaborate the new section as mentioned by her. It might happen that we have skipped some essential point.

Thanks

Dear Sir,

As per my opinion, non compliance of Section 185 is attracted. The Section has been replaced by a new section, the exemptions as applicable in the earlier section are no longer in force. notification " 1. Substituted by the Companies (Amendment) Act,2017Original Content   Amendment Effective from 7th May 2018"

Dear All, 

As far as, Income tax act is concerned, it speaks about chargeability/levy of income tax on a transaction model, but not about the permissibility/impermissibility of a transaction. However, Company act, 2013 speaks about the permissibility of transaction with or without conditions, 

As per the recent amendment in FY 2018-19, no loan, in any form whatsoever, including book debts, shall be given to individual or a firm [refer S. 185(1)]

However, its allowed to the "Person in whom any of the director is interested" us. 185(2), i.e. Person in whom any of the director is interested are Body corporates & not otherthan body corporates; 

There are certain exemptions in S. 185(3) & penal provisions are in Section 185(4),

Do remember, S. 185 is a specific section for providing loan when directors interest is involved & prima facie no other provision can prevail as far as I understood.

Your faithful,

Dear all,

In any section if any exemption is given, it is given considering the current language of the section like"this thing will not apply to........".

But if through amendment act 2017, the section itself has been replaced and the language of the section has been changed, how will the exemption continue to apply?

You may refer the below images that e book does not show any exception or modification. 
Even the bookmark to exception or modification is there only in old section only.
When you click the original content then along with that only the exemption is shown.
