1.You can convert them into equity only if the terms of issue permit it.

2. As far as ROC is concerned only return of allotment will be there.

3.This depends upon the terms of issue. 

Thanks Mr. Srinivasaraghavan,

Conversion is provided by Shareholders agreement, Form 5 is not required to be filed? only Form 2 will suffice the matter.

Please intimate.

 

You may file Form 5 for Reclassification of shares, if your Equity share capital cannot accommodate such conversion

Thanks Lineesh,

we have sufficient authorised capital to meet conversion, even than is it necessary to file Form 5 under the head redemption of prefernce shares?

under which heading Form 2 sholud be filed:

share allotted in cash or consideration otherwise than in cash?

I feel the consideration is cash since otherwise the Company has to redeem  the shares in cash!
