Important Points To Consider ;

  • A company is allowed to issue shares for consideration other than cash such as assets, debts owed by the company [DCAs Letter No.8/32/(75)/77 CL-V, dated 13-3-1978] or immovable property.
  • The allotment of shares by company to a person in lieu of a genuine debt due towards him is in perfect compliance with the provisions of section 75(1) of the Act. [Department's Letter No. 8/32(75)/77-CL-V, dated 13March, 1978]
  • Where the consideration for allotment of shares is actual cash then only the allotment would be cash. 'Cash' is actual money or instruments, e.g. cheques which are generally used and accepted as money. [Letter No.8/4/(75) 69-CLV, dated 18 November, 1969]
  • Conversion of loan into equity arises out of a contract. Option for conversion can be attached to a loan only with the approval of members by way of special resolution and the Government.
  • The Company shall not show in the return of allotment any shares allotted for cash if cash has not actually been received in respect of such allotment.
