The provisions of the Companies Act, 1956 in relation to
the Inter Corporate Loans and Investments are explicated as
under:
A company cannot :-
make any loan to any other body corporate
give guarantee or security in connection with any loan made
by any person to another body corporate
acquire, by subscription, purchase or in any other manner,
securities in any other body corporate
exceeding 60 % of its paid up share capital and free
reserves or 100 % of its free reserves, whichever is more,
unless approved by a special resolution passed at a general
meeting of members.
The Board of the company may give a guarantee without being
previously authorised by a special resolution of members if
all the following conditions are satisfied :-
a Board resolution is passed to this effect
there exist exceptional circumstances which prevent the
company from obtaining previous authorisation by special
resolution
the Board resolution is confirmed within 12 months in a
general meeting or its next Annual general meeting,
whichever is earlier.
Notice of such resolution must clearly indicate the
specific limits, the particulars of the body corporate in
which the investment / loan / guarantee / security is
proposed, the purpose of the investment / loan /
guarantee / security, sources of funding, etc.
No investment / loan / guarantee / security may be made or
given unless the Board resolution sanctioning it is with
the consent of all directors present at the meeting and
prior approval of the public financial institution ( if any
