In case if acquisition of assets of other company results in amalgamation with other company the Court/Tribunal order, if any, shall be forwarded with the Registrar. In case the shares (not being bonus shares) are allotted as fully or partly paid up otherwise than in cash, the company shall produce, for the inspection and examination of the Registrar a contract duly stamped in writing constituting the title of the allottee to the allotment together with any contract of sale or a contract for service or other consideration in respect of which the allotment was made.
