Dear All,

 For a project i need funds but as usual the bank is not providing finance, as they need security  deposit and guaranders.Now In this situation can i take funds from general people giving them a certain return mentioned years, say i will take funds of 10lakh from 50 people and will  assure them i will pay back after 4 years witha 10% interest. And also I will indeed return them.  Will I be able to do so , without making stuffs illegal.

You will have to get RBI permission & registration certificate, IF you are a company incorporated under the Companies Act

 

.OR.

 

If you are a Private individual or a Partnership firm,  then you need to take license from the State Cooperative Dept.

You are expressedly prohibited under law to raise such funding from general public, in order to raise such borrowings/deposits you require permission of RBI & other agencies under which the business is registered.

Hi,

You may go in for a contract and sign a common agreement with all the stake holders, documenting clearly the purpose of the fund.  You should have a collateral value much higher than the amount you wish to raise.  Each one of the stake holders should know the whereabouts of the others.  All the fund invested should be at to pay back as promised,  the sole consent of the stake holders.

However, RBI permission is needed for all this.
