07 November 2011 No, there is no such requirement. Distinctive numbers are for each share. Say if you have paid-up capital of Rs 100000/- divided into 10000 shares of Rs 10 each, then your distinctive number will start from 1 to 10000 (both inclusive). If face value is Rs 100/- then distinctive number will be from 1 to 1000 (both inclusive) and so on.

08 November 2011 The Companies Act, 1956, is silent about the manner you allot distinctive number of share to all the shareholder. It depends upon your own convenience.
In your case what you can allot distinctive number of shares in the following manner:-
Name of the Sh No. of SH Distinctive No.
Mr. A 3333 1-3333
Mr. B 33 3 3334-6666
Mr. C 3334 6667-10000
