Hi
Firstly Share Certificate format should be approved by the Board and it should be in physical format.Every share certificate shall specify the name(s) of the person(s) in whose favour it is issued, the number of shares it relates and the distinctive numbers. The reverse of the certificate contains the columns for transfers (namely Date/Transfer No., Name(s) of the transferees, Register Folio, Attestation by Authorised Signatory).

Section 84 of the Act provides the following in respect of share certificates issued by a company:
Share certificate shall be prima facie evidence of the title of shares
A certificate issued under the common seal of the company, specifying any shares held by any member, shall be prima facie evidence of the title of the member to such shares.
Every company pursuant to section 113 shall within 3 months of allotment of shares or debentures, issue certificates. The certificates after registration of transfer, shall be delivered within 2 months.
Issue of share certificates after allotment of shares can be made only by:
(i) a resolution passed by the Board/Committee, and
(ii) surrender to the company of the letter of allotment if any issued or of the & coupons if any issued the case of bonus shares. If the allotment letter is holder shall furnish such indemnity as may be required by the company.
No certificate for shares shall be issued in exchange for those which are sub-divided or consolidated or in replacement of those which are defaced, torn or worn-out or where the cages on the reverse for recording transfers have been fully utilised unless the share certificate in lieu of which a new one is issued is surrendered to the company.
Issuance of shares certificates
The moment shares had been allotted, share certificates signed and the shareholder's name is entered in the register maintained for the purpose, the person would become the shareholder of the company irrespective of whether the person had received the share certificate or not.
Under section 113 allotment of shares, which shall be the date on which the offer of allotment of rights issues has been accepted by the petitioners by depositing the amount, the company is bound to issue share certificates within the period of three months. If share certificate is not issued within the period of three months and if the company has not obtained the order of extension of period from the CLB (now Tribunal) for issuance of share certificates, the period of limitation commences for enforcement of rights for issuance of shares and consequently on completion of three months from allotment of shares by the company period of limitation for recovery of the amount shall commence under article 47 of the Limitation Act, 1963. [Gurdino Jiwatram Kukreja v Eastern Mining and Allied Industries Ltd. (2004) 121 Comp Cas 762 (Gau)].
Service of shares certificates
When a document is sent by post, service thereof should be deemed to be effective by properly addressing, prepaying and posting the letter containing the document. The presumption, which had been raised under section 53, was reputable and a shareholder might allege that he had not been delivered the share certificate or that it was not properly addressed.
Section 113 only requires company to keep certificates ready for delivery and does not impose an obligation on company to deliver them.
What is punishable under sub-section (2) of section 113 is non-delivery in accordance with the provision laid down under section 53 of the certificates of shares within prescribed time. So, if the documents are posted within stipulated time, there would be compliance of section 113 and there would not be any offence. [H.V. Jayaram v Industrial Credit & Investment Corpn. of India Ltd. (2000) 23 SCL 64 (SC)

As per the Companies (Issue of Share Certificates) Rules, 1960
All blank forms to be used for issue of share certificate shall be printed and the
printing shall be done only on the authority of a resolution of the Board. The blank
form shall be consecutively machine-numbered and the forms and the blocks,
engravings, facsimiles and hues relating to the printing of such form shall be kept in
the custody of the secretary or such other person as the Board may appoint for the
purpose and the secretary or other person aforesaid shall be responsible for rendering an account of these forms to the Board.
Hence computarised and certificate in XL format is not as per the companies act.
Other matters as has been suggested by the exp[erts are applicable so do not take the chance of generating share certificate on computer.
