  6. A private Limited company proposes to raise share capital of Rs. 5 Crores by issue of shares to its existing shareholders on preferential basis in terms of section 62(1)(c) of companies Act, 2013 in one or more tranches to three members namely Mr. A Rs. 2 Crores, Mr. B- Rs. 1 Crores, Mr. C. Rs. 2 Crores.
    For issue of shares to existing shareholders on preferential basis the company need to comply with the provisions of section 62(1) (c ) and comply with the conditions laid down in section 42 of the Act, including Rules 13 and Rules 14 of the Companies Act, 2013
    Further provisio to Rule 13(1) in respect of issue of share on preferential basis as discussed above, provide that in case of any preferential offer made by the company to one or more existing members only, the provisions of sub-rule (1) and provisio to sub- rule (3) of rule 14 of (Companies (Prospectus and Allotment of Securities) Rules 2014 shall not apply. i.e.
    Rules 14(1) :
    (a) making of an offer or invitation to subscribe securities through issue of a private placement offer letter ion Form PAS-4.
    (b) A private placement offer letter shall be accompanied by an application form serially numbered and addressed specifically to the person to whom the offer is made and shall be sent to him, either in writing or in electronic mode, within thirty days of recording the names of such persons in accordance with sub-section (7) of section 42:
    Proviso sub- rule (3) of rule 14 of (Companies (Prospectus and Allotment of Securities) Rules 2014 :
    Provided that a copy of such record along with the private placement offer letter in Form PAS-4 shall be filed with the Registrar with fee as provided in Companies (Registration Offices and Fees) Rules, 2014 and where the company is listed, with the Securities and Exchange Board within a period of thirty days of circulation of the private placement offer letter.
    My questions are :

    1. If Mr. A bring subscription money of Rs.2 Crores in 4 Installments say Rs. 50 Lacs in each Installment, Mr. B Brings subscription money in 3 installment and Mr. C Brings money in 2 Installments, then should company pass separate special resolution for each installments pf money bring by them or only special resolution for raising of Rs. 5 Crores will be sufficient ?

    2. Should Company need to send one time simple offer Letter ( Not in Form PAS-4) to all those three shareholders or need to send separate offer Letter for each trenches as they bring money in 4 to 6 installments ?
    3. Can Company allot the shares in one or more tranches say in 5 tranches to the above shareholders as they bring subscription money in 4- to 5 installment.
