dear neha,

now the company cannot allot shares at book value. u can pass a fresh special resolution for preferential allotment at book value.

no formalities for not alloting shares as per special resolution passed on 29-09-2012.

no time limit between two preferential allotments.

It is presumed that you are talking about an unlisted public company. Point wise reply from my side would be as follows:

 

  1. It is not advisable to allot shares to the proposed allottee without money.
  2. Allotment on face value is totally dependent on the language of the resolution passed in BM and AGM. If you have approved the allotment price in the BM and AGM then you have to convene another GM to make allotment on face value.
  3. Nothing is to be done regarding no allotment to the proposed allottee.
  4. No time limit prescribed by companies act between two preferential allotment.

Dear Neha ji,

 

In case of Unlisted Public Companies, first of all a Special Resolution under section 81(1A) need to be passed, wherein following points are to be disclosed in the notice for hte general meeting:

 

1. The price or price band at which allotment is proposed;

2. the relevant date on the basis of which price has been arrived at;

3. the objects of the isue through preferential offer;

4. the class or  classes of persons to whom the allotment is proposed to be made;

5. intention of promoters/directors/key management persons to subscribe to the offer;

6. shareholding pattern of promoters and other classes of shares before and after the date offer.
