Can anyone let me know whether share premium collected can be cancelled/ returned to the shareholders as the company does not require the same?? If yes, whats is the procedure to do so...
Yes, if you have not allotted the shares and no resolution has been passed for allorment, then you will refund the amount taken as share applications including premium.

Thanks a lot Mr Ajay. But we have already alloted the shares and filed the same in form 2 with the ROC. Is it possible to cancel the allotment.
No, you have already made allotment and intimated the same with ROC, so you can not refund the share premium money. Such money can only be used as per section 78 of the Companies Act, 1956.
