      Solution

      Section 45S, falling under Chapter IIIC dealing with prohibition of acceptance of deposits by unincorporated bodies, provides that no person being an individual or a firm or an unincorporated association of individuals shall accept any deposit if their business includes the activities specified in Section 45-I(c) or if their principal business is receiving deposits or lending. An exception exists for loans received from relatives. The prohibition therefore targets individuals, firms and unincorporated associations of individuals.
