Why it matters
Fixed deposits from members are a way for the company to raise working funds directly from shareholders rather than only from banks. For a shareholder, participating is a separate lending decision from holding the shares — the deposits are unsecured, and the company's rating is in the BB category. Directors, promoters or key managerial personnel have no special interest beyond applying on the same terms as other shareholders.
