Share Certificates are issued to the shareholders by the company after paying the requisite stamp duty. In case the paid-up capital of the company is less than Rs 50 lakhs, it is signed by the Directors of the company and for the cases where the paid-up capital is more than Rs 50 lakhs, a Company Secretary (on the payroll of the company) needs to sign it.
