Hi Members!!!

I want to know the applicability of Unlisted Public Companies (Preferential Allotment) Rules, 2011 in the following case:

A unlisted public limited company has received share application money from its existing members. It has neither issued any advertisement nor received any money from public.

Thanks.

I am really sorry..

it is not a case of preferential allotment

Preferential allotment in simple term is allotment to a person who is not an

existing shareholder of the company against section 81. In other words

preference given to a person other than existing shareholder in case of

allotment is called preferential allotment. According to Preferential allotment is

always a kind of private placement of shares.

On the other hand if there are 5 shareholders in a company and you are allotting

further shares to those 5 existing shareholders again the same is not

preferential allotment but we can call it private placement of shares. Bcoz we are

not to public at large for this second issue.
