    Dear Mam’s,
    Thank you for your article and nice presentation. I am having a doubt writing below hope you will clarify me in this regard.
    Me a CS in employment working in a group companies having nearly 25 Coys. In one of our holding company, we are having a LLP as a Equity Shareholder and Debenture holder, which is also a promoter
    As per Investor Agreement, that LLP has to subscribe OCDs unsecured having redemption period of more than 10 years.
    As per the agreement, company issued and LLP subscribed those OCDs and Equity.
    Whether such subscription of securities by the LLP is a Deposit or not.
    Please give me the clarity.
