AT THE TIME OF TAKING LOAN WHETHER THE COMPANY IS REQUIRED TO FILE MGT-14? IF COMPANY HAS TAKEN LOAN IN FY-2015-16 AND NOT INTIMATE ROC AT THAT TIME HOW IT CAN CONVERT LOAN INTO EQUITY?

Although there is no link between the two events and you may easily complete the filing regarding allotment of shares. This is a default of section 179 and form MGT 14 should have been filed.
However, in case of private company section 179 is exempted by way of notification dated 5 june, 2015.

Yes, According to Section 179(3) (g), Every Public Company is required to File MGT 14, who has borrowed the money . IF MGT 14 IS NOT FILED, SURELY IT IS THE DEFAULT, AND FIRSTLY FOR the GOOD CORPORATE PRACTICES ROC SHOULD BE INFORMED IN FORM MGT 14. AND FILING MGT-14 IS EXEMPT FOR PRIVATE LIMITED COMPANY BUT THERE IS NO LINK BETWEEN TWO EVENT
COMPLETELY AGREE WITH MR.ANKUR
