Generate a share certificate template compliant with Section 46 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Rule 5 of the Companies (Share Capital and Debentures) Rules, 2014. Must be issued within 2 months of incorporation or allotment.
Share certificates under Section 46 of the Companies Act 2013 are prima facie evidence of title to shares. Issuance is governed by Rules under the Companies (Share Capital and Debentures) Rules 2014, with specific format, content, and signatory requirements.
Stamp duty on share certificates is state-specific — typically 0.005-0.015% of consideration. Under the Indian Stamp (Collection of Stamp-Duty through Stock Exchanges, Clearing Corporations and Depositories) Rules 2019, stamp duty is collected centrally for demat shares. Physical certificates remain in use for closely-held private companies.
