Hey Rushi! Here’s a clear answer for your PAS-3 allotment option question:


Scenario:

  • Shares are allotted to existing shareholders

  • But not proportionate to their existing shareholding


What option to select in PAS-3?

  • Since the allotment is not proportionate to their existing shareholding, it cannot be treated as a "Rights Issue".

  • Rights Issue means offering shares to existing shareholders in proportion to their existing holdings.

  • Here, since it's disproportionate, this is treated as a Private Placement.


So, in FORM PAS-3:

  • Select the "Private Placement" option under allotment type.


Why?

  • Private Placement covers allotments made to existing shareholders or others, without adhering to proportional rights.

  • Rights Issue is only when shares are offered strictly proportionate to existing holdings.
