A Private Limited company accepted unsecured loan from its existing two Directors. This is exempt deposit under section 73 of the Companies Act, 2013. Subsequently above two Directors resigned from the Directorship of the Company. Is the loan becomes deposits after their resignation? Is the loan becomes repayable after resignation not to attract deposit Rules ?

There is no necessity to repay the loan immediately and at the time of acceptance of loan the person who has given loan were directors and the money can be retained till the date of maturity.

It is exempt under section 73 of the Act and subsequent to resignation it shall be paid back as per the terms and condition of the loans and therefore not to be treated as deposit

It is a view that deposits are accepted for a tenure. If the deposits were accepted for a tenure of say five years and after acceptance of deposits, the director resigns, immediately the deposit does not become repayable or it does not lose the character of exempted deposit. The company has to show proper documentation that the deposits were accepted for a tenure longer than the period till the resignation of director. Otherwise, if the company has borrowing from banks and banks have put stipulation of unsecured loans then this can also fall under the category of promoter deposits if other conditions are satisfied (not made deposits out of borrowings and the director is otherwise relative of promoter). Only when the exempted deposits are repayable, the character of exempted deposits is lost.

In terms of Rule 2(1)(viii) of Companies (Acceptance of Deposits) Rules, 2014 any amount received from a person who, at the time of the receipt of the amount, was a director of the company , is exempted deposit amount. It is clear that the said person should be a director at the point of giving the money. What happens later is immaterial. The loan cannot become deposit just because the director has resigned.

Please note that deposit does not include any amount received from a person who, at the time of receipt of the amount, was a director of the company. Therefore, if director resign later on, the amount given by him will not included in the definition of deposit.
