Sir, Directors of a Private Limited Company having friends in U.S.A, wish to extend financial support by way of loan for an amount of about Rs. 20 crores. Is it allowable under The Companies Act, 2013 without admitting them as shareholders? In case they are appointed as directors, what should be their minimum shareholding and is it possible to avail such huge amount of loan without permission of Reserve Bank of India? Please Clarify.
