Capital & Shares.
This practice covers every change to your share capital: raising the authorised limit, issuing shares, recording transfers, capitalising reserves through bonus issues and returning funds through buy-backs. Each step combines company law approvals, valuation and FEMA checks with an MCA filing, and private companies that are not small companies must also follow the demat requirement in rule 9B.

Capital & Shares services.
Open any service to see exactly how it works: the steps, what we need from you, what you receive and how long it typically takes.
Increase in Authorized Capital
Authorised capital is the ceiling on the shares your company can issue, set in the capital clause of its memorandum.
Allotment of Shares
Issuing new shares, through a rights issue, private placement or preferential allotment, follows a set route: the right approvals, a registered valuer's report where pricing must be supported, money received through banking channels, and Form PAS-3 filed with the Registrar after allotment.
Share Transfer
A transfer of physical shares is executed on Form SH-4, the securities transfer form, which is stamped, signed by both parties and lodged with the company; it is not filed with the Registrar.
Issue of Bonus Shares
A bonus issue converts free reserves, securities premium or capital redemption reserve into fully paid shares for existing shareholders, with no fresh money.
Buy-back of Shares
A buy-back lets a company return surplus funds by purchasing its own shares out of free reserves, securities premium or the proceeds of a different issue.
