Issue Shares
Last updated on April 28th, 2021

A board meeting is a formal gathering of a Board of Directors. Most of the organizations, being public or private, profit or non-profit, are ultimately governed by a body commonly known as Board of Directors. The members of this body cyclically meet to discuss strategic matters. After the incorporation of the company, the company needs to issue the shares certificates within two months from the incorporation date.

There are important details provided in a share certificate. They are as follows:

  1. Name of issuing Company
  2. CIN number (Corporate Identification Number) of such Company
  3. Address of the Company’s registered office
  4. Name of owners of such shares
  5. Folio number of member
  6. Number of shares which is represented by such share certificate
  7. An amount which is paid on such shares
  8. Distinct number of the shares

Additional shares allotted to the new or existing shareholders should be issued within two months from allotment date. In a case related to the share transfers, the share certificates should be issued to transferees within a period of one month of receipt of the instrument of transfer by such Company.

Thus, review your Board Meeting Minutes immediately after the meeting. When your board meeting minutes are complete and finished, make sure they are distributed to board members as soon as possible. Once the minutes are approved by a vote of the members during the board meeting, they become part of the official record of the organization. It’s important that a copy of all minutes are kept in one place.
