if we have a public listed company and it wants to appoint allotment committee, then who can be the members is any requirement forminimum no. of membrs and quorum for it ??
Nothing has been prescribed under the Listing Agreement pertaining to such 'Allotment Committee' .
In my opinion, constitution of such committee should be like Audit Committee, Shareholder's Grievance Committee, Remuneration Committee etc. That is to say, such committee should consist of at least 3 Directors of whom not less than 2/3rd shall be Independent Directors and the Chairman of such committee must also be an Independent Director.

Oops...i have one more suggestion. You may give the power of allotment to any existing committee by passing necessary resolution for change in terms of reference of the existing committee.
In this way you don't have to constitute a new committee.

Agree with the experts. It is advisable to have Director-Finance (in-charge of Finance and Secretarial functions) and two other independant directors as member of allotment committee.
