In this paper we give a relation between the Futaki invariant for a compact complex manifold $M$ and the holonomy of a determinant line bundle over a loop in the base space of any principal $G$-bundle, where $G$ is the identity component of the maximal compact subgroup of the complex Lie group consisting of all biholomorphic automorphisms of $M$. Using the property of the Futaki invariant, we show that the holonomy is an obstruction to the existence of the Einstein–Kähler metrics on $M$. Our main result is Theorem 2.1.
