Academic query! If you re-read the concerned sections, you will find the difference. But you have not stated what actually is the problem and how you are concerned with the section 185 of the Companies Act 2013 vs. sec. 372A of the Act of 1956?

Dear Mr. Rajiv Kaicker,

I appreciate your query. I do not consider it academic.

Yes, Sec. 185 of the new Act and that of Sec. 372A of the old Act are more or less similar.

Please note that the general circular No. 18/2013 dated 19 November 2013 clarifies that section 372A of the 1956 Act continues to remain in force till section 186 is notified.

Sec. 186 has not still been notified.

Hope this answers your query.

sec 185(new co act) refers to loans/guarantees/security to directors or persons/ firms/cos.in which directors are interested (exceptions are provided).

where as sec 372A (old co act) deals with inter corp.inv./loans/guarantees etc.. by a body corp.& restrictions thereon.

so while only loans etc.. to directors and their interests elsewhere are stated in sec 185 ,it is any body corp. which is talked about in 372A.

till new sec186 is made effective,old sec 372A is made applicable.

the queriest has elsewhere asked about SEC. 372Aapplicability to and vis a vis foreign JV/WOS
