After the introduction of Companies Act, 2013, there are many confusions amongst people about the legalities of companies.

Shares are nothing but a number of rights you have in a company. This is usually calculated in monetary terms. Ex: If your company is having 10,000 shares and you own 1000 shares, then it means that you have 10% rights to participate in the activities of the company.
The number of shares that a company can issue is dependent on the authorised share capital of the company. This is decided by the promoters or owners of the company.
