Please guide me.

Upto what time can the share application money pending allotment be witheld in the balance sheet in case of an unlisted public company and will it be treated as the deposit anyway?

Hi...

To the best of my knowledge there is no such time period prescribed under the Companies Act, 1956 or the rules framed thereunder within which the shares have to be allotted. As a prudent practice and as per what has been prescribed under the FDI Master circular issued by RBI, shares must be allotted within 180 days from the date of receipt of share application money.

As per section 113 of the Companies Act, 1956 share certificates must be issued within 3 months from the date of allotment.

As per the provisions of section 205C of the Companies Act, 1956 any share application money pending allotment for a period of 7 years or more is to be transferred to Investor Education and Protection fund.  

But Sir in th present query, shares have not been alloted yet, so there is no point of Section 113 coming into the picture.
