10 December 2009 Usually each equity share has 1 vote at General Meeting. So if you have 100 shares of company, you will have 100 votes. "differential voting right" means you may have more then one vote in respect of shares held by you. i.e. to say for 100 shares you may have 200 votes or 300 votes etc. (it means you have 200 votes for 100 shares and others are having 100 votes for 100 shares).
Company may issue such shares to facilitate active shareholders much authority so resolutions can be passed easily because resolution require votes.
