      There is no restriction imposed in the Companies Act, 2013, on a private limited company to sell its shares at a premium over the face value or the nominal value of the shares. While Section 53 (read with Section 54) puts some restrictions on sale of shares of a company at discount, there is no restriction on the sale of shares at premium.

      Please note that wherever shares are issued at a premium by a company, Section 52 of the Companies Act would apply for dealing with the aggregate amount of premium received.
