Section 297

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

13 March 2012 Dear All,

We have a Public Ltd. Company whose share holding pattern is as under

Equity Capital 95 lacs
Preferance Share Capital 91 lacs
Total 1.86 Lacs

Now my question is Section 297 says if the paid up capital is more than 1 crore then if we enter in to contracts where directors are interested we have to take permission from Central Government.

But, Does Paid Up Capital includes Preference Share Capital or not?

Whether yes or not and what is the logic?

Thanks in advance

Paid up capital includes preference shares also. For more updates check your latest Annual Return. Also check capital clause of MOA.

For more details check master data of company on mca portal.
