Dear Sir,
Thank you for providing such a nice compilation.
Further, I have a query based on reading of FAQs.
Suppose, somehow, the company has borrowed funds (by passing a resolution in a board meeting) in excess of cieling limit without obtaining PRIOR APPROVAL of shareholders by way of special resolution. Also, the Company is not in a position to repay such funds, being already invested, within the next one year.
Now, the company has become aware of such default. What will be the repercussions of such default? Is there any way that the Company / Shareholders can ratify such act by the Board.

Suppose company no. 2 is associate/subsidiary/holding company of No. 1 company or any director of company No.1 is interested in company no. 2 or vice versa. Now query no. 1. is there any violation of rules according to companies act 2013 in giving loan to company no 2 by NBFC by taking loan from company no. 1 ? Now query no. 2 is there any violation of rules according to companies act 2013 if NBFC takes guarantee also from company No. 1 for giving loan to company no. 2?

According to sub section 1 of section 185 of the Companies Act, 2013:
Save as otherwise provided in this Act, no company shall, directly or indirectly, advance any loan, including any loan represented by a book debt, to any of its directors or to any other person in whom the director is interested or give any guarantee or provide any security in connection with any loan taken by him or such other person
As per my understanding, here the word indirectly signifies giving of loans to the related parties using one or more intermidiaries.
Hence the above treatment would tentamount to non - compliance with the Act, if found.
Hope the above would solve your query.
Thanks.

Respected sirs in general and CA Nimeshji in particular, please answer this query also: If company is a private limited NBFC, having loan from its shareholders as on 31.3.2014, will it also has to submit form DPT-4 with ROC within 3 mths and repay it back within this FY. |

Proviso 1 of Sub Section 1 of section 73 of the Companies Act 2013 excludes a banking company and nonbanking financial company as defined in the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934 from the applicability of Chapter V of the Companies Act 2013.
Further, Sub rule 3 of Rule 1 of the Companies (Acceptance of Deposits) Rules, 2014 deals with Short title, commencement and application also excludes the nonbanking financial company from applicability of new deposit rules.
Thus, as per my understanding, there wont be any need for submitting Form no. DPT-4 with the ROC in this case.
Hope the above would solve your query.
Thanks.

Mr Nimesh - Your query is in fact on Sec.180(1)(c) and not on Sec.186. Such excess borrowing is not valid u/s 180(5). Act requires prior approval of members. However, if it is not taken, it would be advisable to take susequent approval and file return with ROC. In case any notice for default is received, company can go for compounding of offence.
