03 December 2013 Dear Sir,

I have a query on deposit,hope to get cooperation about it.

A pvt co is not allowed to take loan from individual. A pvt co can only take loan from Directors, and relatives of Directors & shareholders.

If a pvt co.takes loan from individual it is violation of section 58A. So what are the penal provisions applicable for this? As the section says:
Section 58A talks about penalty which are applicable if the deposits amount exceeds beyond the limit & if it is not repaid within the time prescribed.

Thanks in advance

05 December 2013 if the company cease to be a private company, will there be no penalty or any other solution to revert its status back into private company.?

05 December 2013 You check whether at the time of taking loan what is the status of company, it was public or private. It will depend on that.
