Sir,
Whether Loan from Directors required to file Form MGT-14 even if the limit does not exceed paid up share capital and free reserves, or it has been omitted?
One query…
If a private company take a loan from a banking institution but the property which is mortgaged is of director.. Then whether it is correct to directly show the loan in company’s books or it should teated loan form director??
What if the director is also a shareholder of the company?
Dear Sir,
If
“Company receive loan from Director, who have borrowed the same from other person who is not director and not have any interest in company”
will it be treated as Deposit or not ?,
Whats the logic behind this section?

is it true that the company is not required to pass special resolutions for the businesses mentioned under Section 180 of the Companies Act, 2013 by exemption notification dated 05.06.2015???
Dear Sir
Can you please provide the Draft copy of special resolution as loan amount exceeded the sum of paid up capital and free reserves.
Dear Mr Divesh
Please also guide us if loan taken by the Company from a Director resigned the directorship subsequently will the loan taken by the Company still continue under exempted category since under rule 2(1)(viii) the following words have been used ‘at the time of the receipt of amount, was a director’. Regards. CSN
Can you please provide the draft format for the declaration also?
Dear Mr. Divesh,
I think company is also required to take a declaration under Rule 2 (viii) of Companies (Acceptance of Deposits) Rules, 2014, from the director, whenever company is taking loan from the director, declaring that the amount is not being given out of borrowed funds or accepting loans or deposits from others.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
Hello Sir,
Please also guide us if loan is taken by the Company from the Director who is also a shareholder of the Company. Loans taken from Director doesn’t come under Deposit provisions but loan taken from shareholders attract Deposit provisions.
Regards
Raj
