ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION OF A COMPANY LIMITED BY SHARES

Interpretation

I. (1) In these regulations—

(a) “the Act” means the Companies Act, 2013,

(b) “the seal” means the common seal of the company.

(2) Unless the context otherwise requires, words or expressions contained in these regulations shall

bear the same meaning as in the Act or any statutory modification thereof in force at the date at which

these regulations become binding on the company.

Share capital and variation of rights

II. 1. Subject to the provisions of the Act and these Articles, the shares in the capital of the company

shall be under the control of the Directors who may issue, allot or otherwise dispose of the same or any of

them to such persons, in such proportion and on such terms and conditions and either at a premium or at

par and at such time as they may from time to time think fit.

2. (i) Every person whose name is entered as a member in the register of members shall be entitled to

receive within two months after incorporation, in case of subscribers to the memorandum or after

allotment or within one month after the application for the registration of transfer or transmission or

within such other period as the conditions of issue shall be provided,—

(a) one certificate for all his shares without payment of any charges; or

(b) several certificates, each for one or more of his shares, upon payment of twenty rupees for

each certificate after the first.
1[(ii) Every certificate shall specify the shares to which it relates and the amount paid-up thereon and

shall be signed by two directors or by a director and the company secretary, wherever the company has

appointed a company secretary:

Provided that in case the company has a common seal it shall be affixed in the presence of the persons

required to sign the certificate.

Explanation.—For the purposes of this item, it is hereby clarified that in case of an One Person

Company, it shall be sufficient if the certificate is signed by a director and the company secretary,

wherever the company has appointed a company secretary, or any other person authorised by the Board

for the purpose.]

(iii) In respect of any share or shares held jointly by several persons, the company shall not be bound

to issue more than one certificate, and delivery of a certificate for a share to one of several joint holders

shall be sufficient delivery to all such holders.

3. (i) If any share certificate be worn out, defaced, mutilated or torn or if there be no further space on

the back for endorsement of transfer, then upon production and surrender thereof to the company, a new

certificate may be issued in lieu thereof, and if any certificate is lost or destroyed then upon proof thereof

to the satisfaction of the company and on execution of such indemnity as the company deem adequate, a

new certificate in lieu thereof shall be given. Every certificate under this Article shall be issued on

payment of twenty rupees for each certificate.

(ii) The provisions of Articles (2) and (3) shall mutatis mutandis apply to debentures of the company.

4. Except as required by law, no person shall be recognised by the company as holding any share

upon any trust, and the company shall not be bound by, or be compelled in any way to recognise (even

when having notice thereof) any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any share, or any

interest in any fractional part of a share, or (except only as by these regulations or by law otherwise

provided) any other rights in respect of any share except an absolute right to the entirety thereof in the

registered holder.

1. Subs. by Notification No. G.S.R. 362(E), dated 10th April, 2018 for item (ii) in sub-paragraph (2) (w.e.f. 10-4-2018).

5. (i) The company may exercise the powers of paying commissions conferred by sub-section (6) of

section 40, provided that the rate per cent. or the amount of the commission paid or agreed to be paid shall

be disclosed in the manner required by that section and rules made thereunder.

(ii) The rate or amount of the commission shall not exceed the rate or amount prescribed in rules

made under sub-section (6) of section 40.

(iii) The commission may be satisfied by the payment of cash or the allotment of fully or partly paid

shares or partly in the one way and partly in the other.

6. (i) If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to

any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class) may, subject to the

provisions of section 48, and whether or not the company is being wound up, be varied with the consent

in writing of the holders of three-fourths of the issued shares of that class, or with the sanction of a special

resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.

(ii) To every such separate meeting, the provisions of these regulations relating to general meetings

shall mutatis mutandis apply, but so that the necessary quorum shall be at least two persons holding at

least one-third of the issued shares of the class in question.

7. The rights conferred upon the holders of the shares of any class issued with preferred or other

rights shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class, be

deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further shares ranking pari passu therewith.

8. Subject to the provisions of section 55, any preference shares may, with the sanction of an ordinary

resolution, be issued on the terms that they are to be redeemed on such terms and in such manner as the

company before the issue of the shares may, by special resolution, determine.

Lien

9. (i) The company shall have a first and paramount lien—

(a) on every share (not being a fully paid share), for all monies (whether presently payable or not)

called, or payable at a fixed time, in respect of that share; and

(b) on all shares (not being fully paid shares) standing registered in the name of a single person,

for all monies presently payable by him or his estate to the company:

Provided that the Board of directors may at any time declare any share to be wholly or in part

exempt from the provisions of this clause.

(ii) The company’s lien, if any, on a share shall extend to all dividends payable and bonuses declared

from time to time in respect of such shares.

10. The company may sell, in such manner as the Board thinks fit, any shares on which the company

has a lien:

Provided that no sale shall be made—

(a) unless a sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable; or

(b) until the expiration of fourteen days after a notice in writing stating and demanding payment

of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable, has been given to

the registered holder for the time being of the share or the person entitled thereto by reason of his

death or insolvency.

11. (i) To give effect to any such sale, the Board may authorise some person to transfer the shares

sold to the purchaser thereof.

(ii) The purchaser shall be registered as the holder of the shares comprised in any such transfer.

(iii) The purchaser shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, nor shall his

title to the shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the sale.

12. (i) The proceeds of the sale shall be received by the company and applied in payment of such part

of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable.

(ii) The residue, if any, shall, subject to a like lien for sums not presently payable as existed upon the

shares before the sale, be paid to the person entitled to the shares at the date of the sale.

Calls on shares

13. (i) The Board may, from time to time, make calls upon the members in respect of any monies

unpaid on their shares (whether on account of the nominal value of the shares or by way of premium) and

not by the conditions of allotment thereof made payable at fixed times:

Provided that no call shall exceed one-fourth of the nominal value of the share or be payable at less

than one month from the date fixed for the payment of the last preceding call.

(ii) Each member shall, subject to receiving at least fourteen days’ notice specifying the time or times

and place of payment, pay to the company, at the time or times and place so specified, the amount called

on his shares.

(iii) A call may be revoked or postponed at the discretion of the Board.

14. A call shall be deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the Board

authorising the call was passed and may be required to be paid by instalments.

15. The joint holders of a share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect thereof.

16. (i) If a sum called in respect of a share is not paid before or on the day appointed for payment

thereof, the person from whom the sum is due shall pay interest thereon from the day appointed for

payment thereof to the time of actual payment at ten per cent. per annum or at such lower rate, if any, as

the Board may determine.

(ii) The Board shall be at liberty to waive payment of any such interest wholly or in part.

17. (i) Any sum which by the terms of issue of a share becomes payable on allotment or at any fixed

date, whether on account of the nominal value of the share or by way of premium, shall, for the purposes

of these regulations, be deemed to be a call duly made and payable on the date on which by the terms of

issue such sum becomes payable.

(ii) In case of non-payment of such sum, all the relevant provisions of these regulations as to payment

of interest and expenses, forfeiture or otherwise shall apply as if such sum had become payable by virtue

of a call duly made and notified.

18. The Board—

(a) may, if it thinks fit, receive from any member willing to advance the same, all or any part of

the monies uncalled and unpaid upon any shares held by him; and

(b) upon all or any of the monies so advanced, may (until the same would, but for such advance,

become presently payable) pay interest at such rate not exceeding, unless the company in general

meeting shall otherwise direct, twelve per cent. per annum, as may be agreed upon between the Board

and the member paying the sum in advance.

Transfer of shares

19. (i) The instrument of transfer of any share in the company shall be executed by or on behalf of

both the transferor and transferee.

(ii) The transferor shall be deemed to remain a holder of the share until the name of the transferee is

entered in the register of members in respect thereof.

20. The Board may, subject to the right of appeal conferred by section 58 decline to register—

(a) the transfer of a share, not being a fully paid share, to a person of whom they do not approve;

or

(b) any transfer of shares on which the company has a lien.

21. The Board may decline to recognise any instrument of transfer unless—

(a) the instrument of transfer is in the form as prescribed in rules made under sub-section (1) of

section 56;

(b) the instrument of transfer is accompanied by the certificate of the shares to which it relates,

and such other evidence as the Board may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to

make the transfer; and

(c) the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one class of shares.

22. On giving not less than seven days’ previous notice in accordance with section 91and rules made

thereunder, the registration of transfers may be suspended at such times and for such periods as the Board

may from time to time determine:

Provided that such registration shall not be suspended for more than thirty days at any one time or for

more than forty-five days in the aggregate in any year.

Transmission of shares

23. (i) On the death of a member, the survivor or survivors where the member was a joint holder, and

his nominee or nominees or legal representatives where he was a sole holder, shall be the only persons

recognised by the company as having any title to his interest in the shares.

(ii) Nothing in clause (i) shall release the estate of a deceased joint holder from any liability in respect

of any share which had been jointly held by him with other persons.

24. (i) Any person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the death or insolvency of a

member may, upon such evidence being produced as may from time to time properly be required by the

Board and subject as hereinafter provided, elect, either—

(a) to be registered himself as holder of the share; or

(b) to make such transfer of the share as the deceased or insolvent member could have made.

(ii) The Board shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as it would

have had, if the deceased or insolvent member had transferred the share before his death or insolvency.

25. (i) If the person so becoming entitled shall elect to be registered as holder of the share himself, he

shall deliver or send to the company a notice in writing signed by him stating that he so elects.

(ii) If the person aforesaid shall elect to transfer the share, he shall testify his election by executing a

transfer of the share.

(iii) All the limitations, restrictions and provisions of these regulations relating to the right to transfer

and the registration of transfers of shares shall be applicable to any such notice or transfer as aforesaid as

if the death or insolvency of the member had not occurred and the notice or transfer were a transfer signed

by that member.

26. A person becoming entitled to a share by reason of the death or insolvency of the holder shall be

entitled to the same dividends and other advantages to which he would been titled if he were the

registered holder of the share, except that he shall not, before being registered as a member in respect of

the share, be entitled in respect of it to exercise any right conferred by membership in relation to meetings

of the company:

Provided that the Board may, at any time, give notice requiring any such person to elect either to be

registered himself or to transfer the share, and if the notice is not complied with within ninety days, the

Board may thereafter withhold payment of all dividends, bonuses or other monies payable in respect of

the share, until the requirements of the notice have been complied with.

27. In case of a One Person Company—

(i) on the death of the sole member, the person nominated by such member shall be the person

recognised by the company as having title to all the shares of the member;

(ii) the nominee on becoming entitled to such shares in case of the member’s death shall be

informed of such event by the Board of the company;

(iii) such nominee shall be entitled to the same dividends and other rights and liabilities to which

such sole member of the company was entitled or liable;

(iv) on becoming member, such nominee shall nominate any other person with the prior written

consent of such person who, shall in the event of the death of the member, become the member of the

company.

Forfeiture of shares

28. If a member fails to pay any call, or instalment of a call, on the day appointed for payment

thereof, the Board may, at any time thereafter during such time as any part of the call or instalment

remains unpaid, serve a notice on him requiring payment of so much of the call or instalment as is unpaid,

together with any interest which may have accrued.

29. The notice aforesaid shall—

(a) name a further day (not being earlier than the expiry of fourteen days from the date of service

of the notice) on or before which the payment required by the notice is to be made; and

(b) state that, in the event of non-payment on or before the day so named, the shares in respect of

which the call was made shall be liable to be forfeited.

30. If the requirements of any such notice as aforesaid are not complied with, any share in respect of

which the notice has been given may, at any time thereafter, before the payment required by the notice

has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Board to that effect.

31. (i) A forfeited share may be sold or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as

the Board thinks fit.

(ii) At any time before a sale or disposal as aforesaid, the Board may cancel the forfeiture on such

terms as it thinks fit.

32. (i) A person whose shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a member in respect of the

forfeited shares, but shall, notwithstanding the forfeiture, remain liable to pay to the company all monies

which, at the date of forfeiture, were presently payable by him to the company in respect of the shares.

(ii) The liability of such person shall cease if and when the company shall have received payment in

full of all such monies in respect of the shares.

33. (i) A duly verified declaration in writing that the declarant is a director, the manager or the

secretary, of the company, and that a share in the company has been duly forfeited on a date stated in the

declaration, shall be conclusive evidence of the facts therein stated as against all persons claiming to be

entitled to the share;

(ii) The company may receive the consideration, if any, given for the share on any sale or disposal

thereof and may execute a transfer of the share in favour of the person to whom the share is sold or

disposed of;

(iii) The transferee shall thereupon be registered as the holder of the share; and

(iv) The transferee shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, if any, nor shall

his title to the share be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the

forfeiture, sale or disposal of the share.

34. The provisions of these regulations as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of non-payment of any

sum which, by the terms of issue of a share, becomes payable at a fixed time, whether on account of the

nominal value of the share or by way of premium, as if the same had been payable by virtue of a call duly

made and notified.

Alteration of capital

35. The company may, from time to time, by ordinary resolution increase the share capital by such

sum, to be divided into shares of such amount, as may be specified in the resolution.

36. Subject to the provisions of section 61, the company may, by ordinary resolution,—

(a) consolidate and divide all or any of its share capital into shares of larger amount than its

existing shares;

(b) convert all or any of its fully paid-up shares into stock, and reconvert that stock into fully

paid-up shares of any denomination;

(c) sub-divide its existing shares or any of them into shares of smaller amount than is fixed by the

memorandum;

(d) cancel any shares which, at the date of the passing of the resolution, have-not been taken or

agreed to be taken by any person.

37. Where shares are converted into stock,—

(a) the holders of stock may transfer the same or any part thereof in the same manner as, and

subject to the same regulations under which, the shares from which the stock arose might before the

conversion have been transferred, or as near thereto as circumstances admit:

Provided that the Board may, from time to time, fix the minimum amount of stock transferable,

so, however, that such minimum shall not exceed the nominal amount of the shares from which the

stock arose.

(b) the holders of stock shall, according to the amount of stock held by them, have the same

rights, privileges and advantages as regards dividends, voting at meetings of the company, and other

matters, as if they held the shares from which the stock arose; but no such privilege or advantage

(except participation in the dividends and profits of the company and in the assets on winding up)

shall be conferred by an amount of stock which would not, if existing in shares, have conferred that

privilege or advantage.

(c) such of the regulations of the company as are applicable to paid-up shares shall apply to stock

and the words “share” and “shareholder” in those regulations shall include “stock” and “stock-holder”

respectively.

38. The company may, by special resolution, reduce in any manner and with, and subject to, any

incident authorised and consent required by law,—

(a) its share capital;

(b) any capital redemption reserve account; or

(c) any share premium account.

Capitalisation of profits

39. (i) The company in general meeting may, upon the recommendation of the Board, resolve—

(a) that it is desirable to capitalise any part of the amount for the time being standing to the credit

of any of the company’s reserve accounts, or to the credit of the profit and loss account, or otherwise

available for distribution; and

(b) that such sum be accordingly set free for distribution in the manner specified in clause (ii)

amongst the members who would have been entitled thereto, if distributed by way of dividend and in

the same proportions.

(ii) The sum aforesaid shall not be paid in cash but shall be applied, subject to the provision contained

in clause (iii), either in or towards—

(A) paying up any amounts for the time being unpaid on any shares held by such members

respectively;

(B) paying up in full, unissued shares of the company to be allotted and distributed, credited as

1. Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the depreciable amount of an asset over its useful life.

The depreciable amount of an asset is the cost of an asset or other amount substituted for cost, less its

residual value. The useful life of an asset is the period over which an asset is expected to be available for

use by an entity, or the number of production or similar units expected to be obtained from the asset by

the entity.

2. For the purpose of this Schedule, the term depreciation includes amortisation.

3. Without prejudice to the foregoing provisions of paragraph 1,—
1[(i) The useful life of an asset shall not ordinarily be different from the useful life specified in

Part C and the residual value of an asset shall not be more than five per cent. of the original cost of

the asset:

Provided that where a company adopts a useful life different from what is specified in Part C or

uses a residual value different from the limit specified above, the financial statements shall disclose

such difference and provide justification in this behalf duly supported by technical advice.]
2[(ii)

3[For intangible assets, the relevant Indian Accounting Standards (Ind As) shall apply. Where

a company is not required to comply with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind As), it shall comply
with relevant Accounting Standards under Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006] except in
case of intangible assets (Toll Roads) created under 'Build, Operate and Transfer', 'Build, Own,
Operate and Transfer' or any other form of public private partnership route in case of road projects.
Amortisation in such cases may be done as follows:—

(a) Mode of amortization

Amortisation Rate =

Amortisation Amount=

    Cost of Intangible Assets (A) x

       Amorisation Amount

x 100

Cost of Intangible Assets (A)

Actual Revenue for the year (B)

Projected  Revenue from Intangible Asset

(till the end of the concession period) (C)

(b) Meaning of particulars are as follows :—

Cost of Intangible Assets (A) = Cost incurred by the company in accordance with

the accounting standards.
Actual Revenue for the year (13) = Actual revenue (Toll Charges) received during the

accounting year.

Projected Revenue from Intangible

Asset (C)
 Total projected revenue from the Intangible Assets

as provided to the project lender at the time of

financial closure/agreement.

1. Subs. by  Notification No. G.S.R. 627(E) dated 29th August  2014, for sub-paragraph (i) of paragraph 3  (w.e.f. 29-8-2014).

2. Subs. by Notification No. G.S.R. 237(E), dated 31st March  2014, for sub-paragraph (i) to (iii) of paragraph 3(w.e.f. 1-4-2014).
3. Subs. by Notification No. G.S.R. 1075(E), dated 17th November  2016 for sub-paragraph (iii) of paragraph 3 (w.e.f. 1-4-2016).

The amortisation amount or rate should ensure that the whole of the cost of the intangible asset is
amortised over the concession period.

Revenue shall be reviewed at the end of each financial year and projected revenue shall be adjusted
to reflect such changes, if any, in the estimates as will lead to the actual collection at the end of the
concession period.

(c) Example:—

Cost of creation of Intangible Assets                   : Rs. 500 Crores

Total period of Agreement                                   : 20 Years

Time used for creation of Intangible Assets        : 2 Years

Intangible Assets to be amortised in                    : 18 Years

Assuming that the Total revenue to be generated out of Intangible Assets over the period
would be Rs. 600 Crores, in the following manner:—

Year No. Revenue( In Rs. Crores) Remarks
Year 1 5 Actual

Year 2 7.5 Estimate *
Year 3 10 Estimate *

Year 4 12.5 Estimate *

Year 5 17.5 Estimate *
Year 6 20 Estimate *

Year 7 23 Estimate *
Year 8 27 Estimate *

Year 9 31 Estimate *
Year 10 34 Estimate *
Year 11 38 Estimate *
Year 12 41 Estimate *

Year 13 46 Estimate *
Year 14 50 Estimate *

Year 15 53 Estimate *

Year 16 57 Estimate *

Year 17 60 Estimate*

Year 18 67.5 Estimate *

Total 600

„*‟ will be actual at the end of financial year.

Based on this the charge for first year would be Rs. 4.16 Crore (approximately) (i.e. Rs. 5/Rs. 600 x
Rs. 500 Crores) which would be charged to profit and loss and 0.83% (i.e. Rs. 4.16 Crore/ Rs. 500
Crore x 100) is the amortisation rate for the first year.

Where a company arrives at the amortisation amount in respect of the said Intangible Assets in
accordance with any method as per the applicable Accounting Standards, it shall disclose the same.]

appropriate, considering the operations performed by the NBFC.
