If in a private limited company there are deposits lying in the balance sheet as on March 31, 2014 from persons other than directors, how shall that be treated? Can we refund them as of today from money borrowed from the director?

date on which such payments, are due, with the Registrar a statement of all the deposits
accepted by the company and sums remaining unpaid on such amount with the interest

Hi Tulika,

If any amount of deposits are outsatnding on 1.04.2014 from persons other than Directors, then there are following compliances:

1) As per sec 74: Report the amount of such Deposit to ROC in Form DPT-4 on or before 30th June, 2014 as they are considered as Deposit under new Comps Act.

2) Repay such amount by 31st March 2015 alongwith interest.
