We can also say that they hold very little percentage of paid up capital of company

minority shareholder are those who are not in position to control the company...

yes agreed by above views,

minority shareholders means less than 50 percent voting rights held by them.

hello frds...

i want to put some light ..pls check...

minority is subjective term term as we all know...

a meeting/resolution/bussiness require 51% consent(ordinary resolution) rest 49% would b minority.

if 75% consent is required then rest 25% is minority

when 90% consent(section 395 etc) is required the rest 10% is minority

if 100% consent is required(section 372A etc)..then no minority...

is it fine wit u all???

Minority shareholder are shareholder which hold less Rs.20000 nominal value of share in the company .For example if face value of company share is Rs. 10 ( it should not hold more than 2000 equity share of company).
