Dear All,
I would like to bring your attention to MCA Notification 14th December,2011
Rule 8 (4)
Any allotment of securities shall be completed within sixty days from the receipt of application money and in case the company is not able to allot the securities within the said period of sixty days, it shall repay the application money within fifteen days thereafter, failing which it will be required to be re-paid with interest at the rate of twelve percent per annum:
Provided that the monies received on such application shall be kept in a separate bank account and shall not be utilised for any purpose other than—
(i) for adjustment against allotment of securities; or
(ii) for the repayment of monies where the company is unable to allot securities.
However in case of FDI, allotment has to be done within 180 days from the date of Inward remittance.
So as correctly pointed out by one of member that allotment withing reasonable time is gone. Further Courts have already held that six months is a reasonable time unless special circumstances exist.
Now, provisions are apet clear. I request you to check aforesaid rules.
Thanks and Regards
