Section 185 :- Lending company can give loan in ordinary course of business provided if it charges interest rate not less than notified rate by RBI.
Section 186:- Company can give loan provided amount of loan does not exceed the threshold limit prescribed under subsection (2). If it exceeds the limit then prior approval required to be obtained in general meeting.
It seems loan can be given under both sections. please check other views.
