UK company law, specifically the Companies Act 2013, prevents companies from issuing shares at a discount. This rule is in place to maintain fairness and prevent unhealthy competition among businesses. Even when a company struggles to raise funds or faces high interest rates, issuing shares below their nominal value is not permitted due to potential financial instability and market distortions.

Company act 2013 prohibites issue of shares at discount but why we can't issue when conpany is finding difficult in raising funds or when interest rates are high ? I want to know logic behind this
