Clause 49 (CG) is applicable for all companies having paid up capital of Rs. 3 cr or more or net worth of Rs. 25 cr or more at any time in the history of company as per SEBI Circular No.SEBI/CFD/DIL/2004/12/10 dated October 29, 2004.
Our Co. was having paid up capital of Rs. 1.10 Cr (listed) and now we made an allotment of Rs. 8.5 Cr. Non Cumulative Redeemable Preference Share (not listed) which makes paid up capital Rs. 9.6 Cr.
Now the question is that whether Redeemable Preference Share (which is not listed) shall be considered as paid up capital for application of any clauses of listing agreement?
