Mam, I want to ask a question. What is the purpose of this form? If subscriber have not paid the value of shares subscribed by them so what is wrong in this?
From the above new provision, it means that invariably every subscriber to MOA has to pay for the value of shares that he has taken within 180 days. Otherwise penal provisions and other implications as said in Sec. 10A will be applicable.
As per 56(2) of Companies Act, within 60 days of incorporation, the company has to issue share certificates to subscribers to MOA for the value of shares they have subscribed.
Sec. 10A gives 180 days to pay the value of shares, whereas Sec. 56(2) gives 60 days to issue the share certificate.
Now the question: Suppose the subscriber pays the amount after 60 days but before 180 days,
a. Whether subscriber can pay the subscription amount after 60 days? will it violate Sec. 56(2)?
b. What is the time limit for subscriber to pay the subscribed share capital – 180 days or 60 days?
c. Whether company can issue share certificate to the subscriber without receiving the value for the shares subscribed? Will it be in compliance with provisions of Companies Act?
