    Sir,

    I just want to know that if DPT-4 FORM is filed once & if the application is cancelled, is it necessary to file Form DPT-4 for making a new application with CLB?

  2. RAMIT says:

    Can anybody explain what needs to be done if a company is formed before 01.04.2014 but taken private loans from relatives after 01.04.2104 & falls under this exemption.

    “Exemption: If the Company has taken Unsecured Loan from Promoters and their Relatives pursuant to a condition mentioned in the sanction letter of the Bank or Financial Institution.”

  3. Chintan says:

    Thanks.

    But perhaps little too late.
    There is no time left now for completing the procedure. Advertisement, DD, application, submission with ROC.
    All will take minimum of 2-3 days.

    Now hope for the best !! 🙂
