Companies Act, 2013
61.
Power
of limited company to alter its share capital.
1. A limited company
having a share capital may, if so authorised by its articles, alter its
memorandum in its general meeting to—
a.
increase
its authorised share capital by such amount as it thinks expedient;
b.
consolidate
and divide all or any of its share capital into shares of a larger amount than
its existing shares:
Provided
that no consolidation and division which results in changes in the voting
percentage of shareholders shall take effect unless it is approved by the
Tribunal on an application made in the prescribed manner;
a.
b.
c.
convert
all or any of its fully paid-up shares into stock, and reconvert that stock
into fully paid-up shares of any denomination;
d.
sub-divide
its shares, or any of them, into shares of smaller amount than is fixed by the
memorandum, so, however, that in the sub-division the proportion between the
amount paid and the amount, if any, unpaid on each reduced share shall be the
same as it was in the case of the share from which the reduced share is
derived;
e.
cancel
shares which, at the date of the passing of the resolution in that behalf, have
not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person, and diminish the amount of
its share capital by the amount of the shares so cancelled.
2. The cancellation of
shares under sub-section (1 ) shall not be deemed to be a reduction of
share capital.
