whether loan/deposits not considered as deposits taken prior to 1.4.2014 and remained outstanding as on 31.03.2019 will be reported.
A Company which has taken loan from NBFC is required to disclose the same in Form DPT-3..? If yes then in which field of Form DPT-3 the details are required to be mentioned..?
In my opinion, NBFCs are required to report as the parent provision excepted banking company, nbfc or hfc.
The new rule (Acceptance of Deposits)
Amendment Rules, 2019.
heading show TO BE PUBLISHED IN THE GAZETTE OF INDIA so what is the effective date.(22. jan. 2019 )or on the date of their publication in the Official
Gazette.
In Annual Compliance of Deposit Rule 16 talks about information as per Audited Financial Statement in Form DPT-3 before 30 June to be filed with ROC. So it means company to get its account audited before 30th June or even before.???
Is it necessary to show outstanding dues and expenses ( long pending) in this disclosure? Though not loans per se they are never the less dues that need to be paid.
