Home Dictionary Name: shareholdersShareholder
Shareholder, word 'shareholder' can mean only a registered shareholder. It is difficult to see how a beneficial owner of shares whose name does not appear in the register of shareholders of the company can be said to be a 'shareholder'. He may be beneficially entitled to the shares but he is certainly not a 'shareholder'. It is only the person whose name is entered in the register of share-holders of the company as the holder of the shares who can be said to be a shareholder qua the company, and not the person beneficially entitled to the shares. It is the former who is a 'shareholder' within the matrix and scheme of the company law and not the latter, Rameshwar Lal Sanwarmal v. Commissioner of Income Tax, AIR 1980 SC 372: (1980) 2 SCC 371 (376): (1980) 2 SCR 369.

Member, shareholder and holder of a share
Member, shareholder and holder of a share, the scheme of the Indian Companies Act, 1913, shows that the words 'member', 'shareholder' and 'holder of a share' have been used interchangeably. The words 'holder of a share' are really equal to the word 'shareholder', and the expression 'holder of a share' denotes, in so far as the company is concerned, only a person who, as shareholder, has his name entered on the register of members, Howrah Trading Co.
