Hi,

 

 

If the same person subscribes to both equity and preference shares, such person will be treated as one member and not two members provided all the particulars furnished by the person subscribing to both preference and equity share capital are same for the purpose of entering the details in the Register of Members as per section 150 of the Act.
 
 
Preference shareholders are members within the meaning of the Act and will be counted for the purpose of calculating 50 members under section 3(1)(iii) of the Act.

With Regards,

Neha
