Hi....

In my opinion the Company can accept the Share Application money exceeding the Authorised Capital of the Company but before making an allotment of shares, the Company should increase its Authorised Share Capital....

As per provisions of the Companies Act, once share application money has been credited, allotment has to be done withing reasonable time. As per commentry, reasonable time depends on fact to fact basis. However reasonable time is interpreted as 6 months except for some extra-ordinary cases.

I too agree, many of private companies are having share application mony in their balance sheet as mentioned by you. But, on scrutiny, they will very well come under violations. Also, company will have to provide justification for basis for subscribing shares and reason for non-allotment within reasonable time.
