Share Application money

it is mandatory Share application money  in form of Cheque Or  DD

It can be received in cash also...however where the transction amount exceeds certain limit, different acts will attract or may bring trouble,

Say for e.g if amount exceeds prescribe limits under Banking Transaction it will be informed to IT department and so on...

As per IT Act, applicant has to provide declaration for the amount subscribed for (in case of Private company and preferential allotment)...

Companies Act has not mandated share application money in cash, even statutory register provides column for the same, however looking at Business Convineance , Banking and IT related matter it is always suggested to take money in Cheques specially when amount involved is high...

Also note Its mandatory for the Companies coming for IPO and where-ever ICDR is applicable .
