Hello Members,
I want to know that, i have to incorporate a company of paid up capital of 2 crore and the proposed director desires to bring its own asset/property and transfer this to company without consideration in order to fulfill the capital of Rs. 2 crore.
Is it mandatory to bring capital other than cash in case of Private limited company.?
Kindly update me on this urgent basis.
Thanks

2. **Section 2(30) – Definition of "Share Capital"**
* Share capital can be issued for **consideration in money or money’s worth**, which means contribution can be in cash or other assets/property.
