21 December 2013 as long as the said money is received is received from a relative covered under Section 56, it is beneficial to show it as a gift only. No point in showing it as share application money or loan. Once the money is shown as gift in the personal accounts of the director, you can bring it to be books of the company as loan received from the directors or just let it rest in the personal accounts of the director only.
