06 March 2010 Yes you can provide the loan to Director or relatives of directors. Just you have to Comply with the section 299 that i.e. you have to get Board Approval for the same and update in register u/s 301(1)

06 March 2010 The most important point skipped from first reply.

Yes you can give loan to director u/s 295 but you have to obtain prior approval of central govt.

Disclosure u/s 299 from director is necessary and he can not participate or vote in the meeting u/s 300.

Also register u/s 301 needs to be updated.

07 March 2010 I must say first reply of Jagruti (CS) is correct. No need for Central Govt permission (as mentioned by Mr. Ankur Garg). As this is a pvt company and u/s 295(2) it is mentioned that it is not applicable on pvt company so only board approval is OK.
