### Face Value Options: ₹1, ₹10, ₹100 — What’s Best?
* **₹10 per share** is the **most common face value** in India for equity shares.
* It’s a **standard practice** because it balances ease of share division and affordability.
* Using ₹1 or ₹100 face value is less common but allowed.
---
### What Happens if Face Value is ₹100?
* **Fewer shares** are issued for the same capital amount (e.g., Rs. 1,00,000 capital = 1,000 shares at ₹100 face value).
* This means the **number of shareholders/shares is smaller**, which might reduce liquidity.
* **Nominal value per share is higher**, but it does not affect the market price or intrinsic value.
* For small investors, high face value shares may be less affordable.
* Compliance and administration are simpler with standard face value like ₹10.
