An Indian private company having foreign directors and having low net worth can issue shares at premium or not???? And also tell the maximum limit of premium amount. Is there any litigation against RBI rules & Income Tax rules regarding the issue of shares at premium having low net worth???

The capital clause of MOA deal with maximum Authorised Share Capital and Paid Up share Capital of the company.

So, you can not received or maid in excess of that clause.

The share premium amount is the part of reserve and surplus.

In listed company the premium is depend on the price arrived as per SEBI (ICDR) Regulation, 2009 of that shares on relevant date.
