Taking loans from Directors and their relatives is exempt from the term "Deposits" and hence there is no violation as per Companies Act.
According to me A director's HUF is not considered as relative of Director but members of a HUF is a "relative". For definiton of "relative" please refer to Section 6 of the Companies Act read with Schedule IA.
