Hi
Two things need to be taken into Consideration:
1. To whom allotment is to be made. 2. In what proportion shares will be allotted.
A. If allotment is to be made to all existing shareholders and also in the same proportion in which they have existing shareholding i.e. post allotment their % shareholding does not change then Section 81 applicable.
B. If allotment is to be made to all existing shareholders but not in the same proportion in which they have existing shareholding i.e. post allotment their % shareholding changes then Section 81 is not applicable. Section 81(1A) applicable)
C. If allotment is to be made to some existing shareholders and not to all then Section 81 is not applicable. Section 81(1A) applicable)
