You are welcome Sonia… 372 A relates to Intercorporate loans and Investments. It basically says, that a company can give loan or advance to another company to the maximum of 100% of its free reserves or 60% of Paid up Capital plus free reserves, whichever is higher. If the company wants to go beyond this limit, it has to pass a special resolution in a General Meeting 372A does not apply to following 1. Loan / Guarantee / Security / Investment made / given by: A Bank, Insurance Company in ordinary course of business, Housing Finance Company,
