Well, following is exact text of exemption under clause (ix): "Any amount received from a person who, at the time of the receipt of the amount, was a director of the company or any amount received from a RELATIVE OF A DIRECTOR OR ITS MEMBER by a private company."
It means relative of member of private company is exempted, provided he submits a declaration under Notification GSR 189(E) 12-Mar-04
Dear Pawan ji you are simply misinterpreting the clause. This is not the exact clause. You miss the most inportant comma after "was a director of the company". Check yourself.
Next time be careful. There is no room for any sort of discussion. It is very much a settled rule that unsecured loans from the relatives of the shareholders is a public deposit.
