Small depositor protections require companies to notify the tribunal of repayment defaults and restrict further small-deposit acceptance. The section requires companies accepting small deposits to notify the Tribunal of any repayment default and supply depositor particulars on a monthly basis; the Tribunal may on receipt exercise remedial powers and issue an order within a statutory period. Companies are barred from taking further small deposits until matured small-depositor claims are paid, with limited exceptions, must disclose past defaults and interest waivers in advertisements and application forms, and must prioritise loan proceeds for repayment of small-depositor claims. Contraventions attract criminal penalties and vicarious director liability.
