    RECENTLY, FEW companies have stated that FIR and advertisement is required only if value of security exceeds Rs. five lakh. Kindly update on this aspect.

  2. DEV KUMARKOTHARI says:

    Emails sent
    For all concerned officials of the Honorable Prime Minister, Minister of Finance and Corporate Affairs and HomeMinister of India , Minister of law and justice
    Respected Sirs and Madams,
    Sub: Ease of doing work -waive requirement for FIR,newspaper advertisements for lost share / security certificates.
    Let police do its core work and avoid unnecessary paperwork and formalities of FIR in case of lost documents like share/ debenture/ bond certificates.
    Let police do more important work for peace, harmony, safety,security.etc. of public and prevention of crimes.
    There is unjustified requirement of FIR for lost / misplaced physical share certificates duly registered in name of holder.
    Companies are asking to lodge and submit FIR for issue of duplicate share certificates which are duly registered in the name of applicant even since long time passed.
    Some companies are also asking for investigation report from the police.
    In such cases what will the Police will do?
    Why to waste time in unnecessary formality of lodging FIR, enquiry, investigation report etc when the holder has his credential and is submitting indemnity bond to the company.
    Advertisement:
    Advertisement of loss of certificates and application for duplicate certificates on websites of MCA, Stock Exchange, SEBI and company will be more effective instead of in newspapers. Ad. in newspapers is just a formality and serves hardly any purpose.
    Kindly consider ground realities and issue revised guidelines about these matters.
    Please forward email to concerned officers so that an important step can be taken towards ease of doing work.
