What is underwriting of shares and debentures? A. Underwriting is a contractual arrangement where a company issues its shares or debentures with the help of an underwriter, who promises to purchase the unsubscribed portion of the issue in exchange for a commission. Q2. What is the maximum underwriting commission allowed? A. As per the Companies Act, underwriting commission cannot exceed 5% of the issue price for shares and 2.5% of the issue price for debentures. Q3. What is the difference between marked and unmarked applications? A. Marked applications carry the stamp of a specific underwriter and are credited to that underwriter directly, while unmarked applications carry no stamp and are apportioned among underwriters, usually in the ratio of their gross liability. Q4. What is Firm Underwriting? A. Firm Underwriting refers to shares or debentures that an underwriter reserves for themselves in advance, separate from the public issue, mainly to build public confidence in the issue. Q5.
