Question and options

Assume no other exclusion in rule 2(1)(c) of the Companies (Acceptance of Deposits) Rules, 2014 applies. Which receipt is a deposit?

  1. Money raised by issuing unlisted unsecured NCDs

  2. A loan received from another Indian company

  3. A loan received from a scheduled commercial bank

  4. Money raised by issuing commercial paper

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A - Money raised by issuing unlisted unsecured NCDs

Rule 2(1)(c)(ixa) excludes money raised through non-convertible debentures that create no charge on assets only if they are listed on a recognised stock exchange, so unlisted unsecured NCDs are a deposit. Commercial paper, loans from banking companies and loans from other companies are expressly excluded.
