Share Certificate Printing

About Our Service

What is a Share Certificate?

A share certificate is an official document issued by a company to certify that a person is the registered owner of a specific number of shares. Although the world is rapidly shifting towards digitization, physical share certificates still hold relevance in various corporate and legal settings. Share certificate printing is a critical aspect of company compliance and corporate governance, especially for private limited companies and startups.

What is Share Certificate Printing?  

A share certificate is an official document issued by a company that proves the ownership of shares held by its shareholders. It contains details such as the shareholder’s name, number of shares held, certificate number, and company seal.

As per the Companies Act, 2013, companies must issue share certificates within two months of allotment or transfer of shares. Professional share certificate printing ensures the format is legally valid, consistent with MCA guidelines, and free from errors.

At Ebizfiling, we assist companies in creating and printing custom-designed, legally compliant share certificates that meet statutory norms while maintaining a professional presentation for your shareholders.

Important Rules and Legal Compliance for Share Certificate Printing  

Every company must follow specific legal rules under the Companies Act, 2013 while issuing or printing share certificates.

  • Time Limit for Issuance: A company must issue share certificates within two months from the date of incorporation or allotment of new shares. In case of a share transfer, the certificate must be issued within one month from the date of transfer.

  • Consequences of Delay:   If the company fails to issue share certificates within the prescribed time, it can face monetary penalties and legal action. The directors or officers in charge may also be held personally liable for non-compliance or delays.

  • Security and Authenticity Measures: To prevent fraud or misuse, every printed share certificate should include unique certificate numbers, watermarks, authorized signatures, and secure printing techniques that make them difficult to duplicate or counterfeit.

  • Digital Shift in Share Certificates: While traditional paper certificates are still used, many companies have now moved to digital share certificates. These are legally valid and are issued through the same approval process but sent electronically via email to shareholders, ensuring speed and convenience.

  • Duplicate Share Certificates: If a shareholder loses or damages their original certificate, they can apply for a duplicate certificate by submitting an indemnity bond and a copy of the FIR. The company must temporarily freeze share transfers for 30 days and verify all documents before reissuing a new certificate.

  • Penalty for Non-Issuance: Failure to issue share certificates within the statutory time limit can lead to heavy fines for the company and its officers. The penalty depends on the duration of delay, severity of non-compliance, and the company’s internal policies.

When Should You Print or Issue a Share Certificate?  

  • Within 2 months of the incorporation or allotment of shares.

  • Within 1 month from the date of share transfer.

  • When new shareholders are added or capital is increased.

  • During company restructuring or ownership change.

  • If the original certificate is lost or damaged and needs reprinting.
