The Banning of Unregulated Deposit Schemes Ordinance, 2019 has been promulgated by the President of India on 21st February, 2019. The same is applicable “at once” i.e., from 21st February, 2019 itself.
It has been brought with intension to ban the illicit deposit schemes / ponzi schemes etc. to save the depositors from being defrauded.
In this regard, an issue is being discussed in public at large that whether it is also applicable to the deposits, unsecured loans etc. accepted / taken for the normal trading, manufacturing etc. activities or for personal needs.
