The Companies Act, 2013 is silent on whether the power to issue share certificates can be delegated to a committee of the board. However, Section 179(3) of the Companies Act, 2013 provides that the board of directors of a company may delegate any of its powers, except certain specified powers, to a committee of directors, managing director, or any other officer or employee of the company.
Since the power to issue share certificates is not one of the specified powers that cannot be delegated, it may be possible for the board of directors to delegate this power to a committee of directors. However, it is important to note that the Companies (Share Capital and Debentures) Rules, 2014 require the issuance of share certificates to be authorized by a board resolution. Therefore, even if the power to issue share certificates is delegated to a committee of directors, the committee would still need to obtain the authorization of the board through a board resolution before issuing share certificates.
