12 April 2013 Dear Expert,

suppose capital of a listed company are as follows :

Paid -up Eq. Cap = Rs. 2 Crore
Preference shares = RS. 12 Crore
____
14 Crore

1 ) Now my question is whether Sec 383A will be applicable or not.

2) whether clause 49 of listing agreement i.e corporate governance will be applicable or not.
as the act said All the listed company whose paid up capital of Rs 3 crores and above or net worth of Rs 25 crores or more

In short I wanted to know value of preference share would be added in paid up capital or not.

Thank You.
