Sweat equity issuance limits restrict annual and overall allotments, with relaxed longer-term caps for Innovators Growth Platform companies.

A company shall not issue sweat equity shares for more than fifteen percent of the existing paid up equity share capital in a year, provided that issuance shall not exceed twenty five percent of the paid up equity share capital at any time. A company listed on the Innovators Growth Platform may issue not more than fifteen percent in a financial year subject to an overall limit not exceeding fifty percent of the paid up equity share capital for a limited period after incorporation or registration.
