FORM PAS-3 · PRIVATE LIMITED

Share Allotment Filing for Private Limited Companies (PAS-3)

Whenever your Private Limited Company issues new shares — to founders, employees, family members or external investors — the allotment must be filed with the Registrar of Companies through Form PAS-3. This is one of the most error-prone filings, and getting it wrong creates problems during due diligence.

  • Covered under our Unlimited Annual Plan — ₹15,000/year
  • One request at a time, 3 working day turnaround
  • Government fees billed at actuals separately
About This Filing

What is PAS-3?

PAS-3 is the prescribed form for filing the return of allotment. It captures details of the new shareholders, the number of shares allotted, the consideration received, and the type of allotment (rights issue, private placement, ESOP, etc.). The form must be supported by the list of allottees, board resolution, valuation report (where applicable), and proof of consideration received.

Quick Reference

Why It Matters

Compliance Importance & Consequences

  • Mandatory under Section 39 of the Companies Act, 2013
  • PAS-3 must be filed within 15 days of allotment — one of the tightest deadlines
  • Penalty of ₹1,000 per day, capped at ₹25 lakh for the company
  • Future investors will check PAS-3 history during due diligence; gaps are red flags

The Real Cost of Per-Form Pricing

Why Pay for Single Forms When You Can File Unlimited?

Funding rounds, ESOPs and family allotments mean PAS-3 typically gets filed multiple times in the same year. Per-filing quotes range from ₹3,000 to ₹7,000 each. Companies that raise capital twice in a year easily spend ₹10,000+ on this one filing alone. Unlimited plan covers every single round.

Pay-Per-Filing Approach

One PAS-3, One Invoice

₹3,000 – ₹7,000Per-filing quote (one PAS-3)
  • Pay separately every time you need this filing
  • Fresh quote, fresh negotiation, fresh wait every event
  • No coverage for any other ROC filing
  • No GST monthly returns included
  • Costs add up across the year — almost always more

Suitable only if PAS-3 is the only filing your company will need this entire year.
