The allotment of shares generally follows a systematic process. Firstly, a company issues a prospectus, which is an invitation to the public to purchase shares of the company. This document will include necessary details about the company, usage of funds to be raised, and the number of shares available for subscription. After the release of the prospectus, applications are invited from the general public to subscribe to the shares of the company. At this stage, the individuals or businesses interested in purchasing the shares will have to apply. Upon receipt of applications, the company will scrutinize them and make the allotments. The allotment must be done within 60 days of receipt of the application. After an allotment has been made, an allotment letter is issued to the successful applicants. This is essentially an acknowledgement of the allotment.Note: A company cannot allot the shares unless the minimum subscription amount specified in the prospectus has been received. This is to ensure that the company has sufficient capital to meet its business needs.
