When shareholder(s) cannot pay his due amount, it is called calls in arrears.
These calls in arrears may be in allotment, first call and final call.
According to Company Act, the company provides 90 days’ time to pay due amount with interest.
When shareholders cannot pay his due amount in 90 days, the company provides other 30 days periods.
Even after this notice, if no payment is made, another notice should be served to defaulter shareholder(s) about forfeiture of shares.
Thus only calls in arrears shares can be forfeited.
Paid amount of shareholders on share forfeiture will not return.
There are three methods to forfeiture of shares. They are:
a. Forfeiture of shares issued at par
b. Forfeiture of shares issued at discount
c. Forfeiture of shares issued at premium
