Following is the case –
Current Authorised Capital of the company consist of –
1. Equity Shares
2. 9% Redeemable Preference Shares
Currently the company has redeemed its Paid - up 9% Redeemable Preference Shares. Thus, paid-up Capital of the company has been reduced and this will not have any effect on its Authorised Capital as per Section 80 (3). For this case we need to file form5.
Please suggest that we’ll show only decrease in Paid-up Capital and nothing else right??
Further, my company wants to issue Equity Shares but for this we will have to increase our Authorised Equity Shares. And the Company does not require its Authorised Preference Shares. The Company has decided to do the following –
1. To convert existing Authorised Preference Shares into Authorised Unclassified Shares
2. to convert Authorised Unclassified Shares into Equity Shares
Please suggest the procedure for the above case. (It’s a Private Limited Company). Also if you any other option so that we will not require to increase our Authorised Equity Shares in normal way and pay Stamp Duty.

In my opinion. after redemption of Preference shares, you convene an EGM of the members of the Company, whereat, pass an Ordinary resolution to cancel the unissued Preference Share Capital and re-classify the Authorised Share Capital entirely into Equity Share Capital. File Form 5 within 30 days from the date of passing of Ordinary Resolution. In case of re-classification, u shall not be required to pay any stam duty, as there is no increase in the Authorised Share Capital.

No pooja.....with reference to my reply, u r cancelling the unissued Preference share capital from the authorised share capital and this will not be conversion of preference share capital into equity share capital. Only issued preference share capital can be converted into Equity share capital, if the terms of issue so provide.
After redemption of preference share capital, issued share capital shall consist of only Equity share capital.
We had faced a similar situation in one of our group companies, and i have suggested the same course which we followed.

ok.. toh what I have understood is that we can not convert our Authorised Pref cap inti Auhtorised equity cap. But what you suggested me to do is Canceling Authorised Pref Cap and reclassificaton of thesame into Authorised Equity Capital.
Can you please go through the ordinary resolution of EGM?? Please suggest if I have to add anything...
One more question, is it necessary to cancel the current pref cap and put it into unclassified cap and then reclassify into Equity? if yes then please provide me with resolution for the same...
pls reply ASAP as its realy urgent
