In the New Companies Act, there is a restriction on Private Companies from accepting deposits from members.
This was stayed for some time to offer relaxation. Does anyone know the current status in this issue?

Both the view are correct. Amount received from member is treated as public deposit under secction 73.. Hence, if the company wants take the money from shareholders, then need to comply with section 73 read with relevant rules.
If the amount is exempted, then the compliance of section 73 is not required. Say amount recevied from director is not a deposit subject to certain restriction.
