The loan agreement was also executed and also the deed of personal guarantee.

then the borrowing company have asked for various extension to repay the same which lender company agreed .

But now the borrowing company have not paid interest for 5 months ?

QUERY

2) can separate agreement be made for pending interest amount by showing it as LOAN ? OR

3) incase both the above option not suitable , pl.suggest most appropriate options.

25 December 2013 All will depend upon after knowing all the terms and conditions of giving loan to the company.
.
.
Making one more loan agreement with/without interest will not help the company practically.
.
.
Better a case be lodged against the company to recover the amount.
.
.
Only then the company would take it seriously to repay.

26 December 2013 The employer is not eyeing for the case because it might be related party to them directly or indirectly.
.
(This is the most possible reason that they are interested in renewing the agreement).
.
.
Since it is a public listed company; hence majority of money is belonging to the public.
.

.
Now-a-days; companies are supposed to follow CORPORATE GOVERNANCE. Since it is a listed company; hence more care is to be taken towards this issue.
.
.
Hence advise the management for the likely action by the government authorities in future.

26 December 2013 I don't want to suggest the solution to the case because it is against the ETHICAL PRACTICES looking to the possible involvement of the management in mismanagement of the funds.

31 December 2013 Dear Sir

here the company wanted to penalize the borrowing company for not paying the interest which is absolutely in the interest of the public.

we wanted the opinion on the angle that can we penalize the borrowing company by adding pending interest in principle amount ?

31 December 2013 It seems that after suggesting CASE against the party; either your management or the party seems to be ready to accept penal interest. :)
.
.
First of all please confirm whether the loan is outstanding for more than 6 months.

31 December 2013 If it outstanding for more than 6 months; then firstly it is to be categorized as NON PERFORMING ASSET.
