Introduction
Share Lāgat is the formal process of recording and registering company shares in the names of shareholders after they have fully paid the amount they committed to invest during the company’s incorporation.
When a company is formed, the promoters (founders) agree to subscribe to a certain number of shares. However, these shares do not become officially recognized until the amount is paid and the company legally registers them in its official records. This formal registration of paid shares in the shareholder’s name is known as Share Lāgat.
Share Lagat Submission Deadline and Penalty
Share Lagat must be completed and submitted to the Office of the Company Registrar within three months from the date of company incorporation.
If it cannot be submitted within this period, an additional one-month grace period is provided, during which no penalty is charged.
However, if the Share Lagat is not submitted even within the extended period, the company becomes liable to pay a penalty. The penalty is
- Rs. 200 per month, for every month of delay
- But the total penalty for a single fiscal year cannot exceed Rs. 1,000
This ensures that companies complete their share allotment and capital compliance on time.
Government Fee for Share Lagat
There is no government fee for submitting Share Lāgat. However, if it is not submitted within the required timeframe, the company becomes liable to pay penalties, which are charged monthly based on the delay.
