I am really sorry..
it is not a case of preferential allotment
Preferential allotment in simple term is allotment to a person who is not an
existing shareholder of the company against section 81. In other words
preference given to a person other than existing shareholder in case of
allotment is called preferential allotment. According to Preferential allotment is
always a kind of private placement of shares.
On the other hand if there are 5 shareholders in a company and you are allotting
further shares to those 5 existing shareholders again the same is not
preferential allotment but we can call it private placement of shares. Bcoz we are
not to public at large for this second issue.
