Share capital


11 August 2011 1) Can a private limited company accepts share application from relatives in cash and to what extent?

2) Can it issue shares against amount received in cash?

12 August 2011 Courts have given divergent views while it exceeded Rs.20,000/- per person leading to a controversy regarding application of section 269SS of the Income tax Act,1961.

12 August 2011 Check out the decision of Jharkhand HC (2005) 275 ITR 399 (Jharkhand), held that Share application money partakes the character of deposit within the meaning of 269SS.
1. Receipt of Share Application money in cash exceeding Rs.20,000 should be avoided.
2. There is no issue with regard to allotment of shares against share application money received in cash.


12 August 2011 Citation is Bhalotia Engineering Works Pvt. Ltd. v. CIT [2005] 275 ITR 399 (Jharkhand).

12 August 2011 In the case of Jagvijay Auto finance(p) ltd., v CIT (1995) 52 ITD 504(Jp-Trib) it has been held that share application money does not constitute deposit covered u/s 269SS. That is why I said about controversy.

17 August 2011 Sir I have taken Rs. 10 Lakhs in Cash in Share Application and cannot allot the shares bcos Paidup is already exhausted.
What are the consequences?
