The Companies (Amendment) Act, 2017, has alleviated some of the restrictions under section 185 of the Companies Act, 2013, for a company to provide loans. Section 185 earlier prohibited a company from advancing loans/providing guarantees/ securities to its directors/persons in whom the director was interested, with limited exemptions to such prohibition such as loan to a managing or whole-time director under special circumstances, company whose ordinary course of business is the advancement of loans, etc. The amendment has now made such prohibition applicable only to the advancing of loans/providing guarantees or securities to (i) any of its directors, (ii) its holding company, (iii) a partner/relative of a director, or (iv) any firm in which the director/relative is a partner.
