Dear Mr. Seckar,
As per Section 3(1)(iii)(d) a ' private company' cannot invite or accept deposits from persons other than its members, directors or their relatives.
So my understanding is, acceptance of deposits from NRI director / shareholder will not make the company loose its identity as 'private company'.
Is there any restrictive provisions contained in FEMA with regard to deposits by NRI director / Shareholder?

Hello Mr.Seckar,
Am too of the same opinion as Jayashree Iyer Ma'm.
One of the conditions of private company is
"[(d) prohibits any invitation or acceptance of deposits from persons other than its members, directors or their relatives:]"
But it does not anywhere talk about status of Director/ member being resident or non -resident.
So taking loan /deposit from them shouldl not loose the character of pvt ltd company.
Need further your advice.
regards
