You can file this form with different event dates (date of allotment) if these dates are within 30 days of the filing date. If any of the date(s) are beyond 30 days, then a separate form is to be filed for every such event date.

In such case, details of all three allotments can be filed through the same form only if the form is filed on or before 1st May, as all the events would fall within 30 days. However, if the company files the Form on 10th May, then separate forms would need to be filled in for each of these allotments." If it is required to file e-Form MGT-14 about the resolution passed for issue of shares; ensure that filing of e-Form MGT-14 precedes filing of this e-Form.
