03 February 2011 1) A minor can become a shareholder when the fully paid up shares are transferred or gifted to him or when the shares are passed on to him by way of transmission. However shares cannot be alloted to him directly as he cannot enter into a contract with the company.

2) A minor cannot become a director and vote in the Board resolutions.
