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?
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.”
Thanks for the writing.
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 !! 🙂
Thank you, right info at right time by right person
