Question:

Which letter is sent to people to whom shares are not allotted by the company?

Options:

Letter of prospectus

Letter of allotment

Letter of regret

Letter of money

Correct Answer:

Letter of regret

Explanation:

If minimum subscription has been received, the company may proceed for the allotment of shares after fulfilling certain other legal formalities. Letters of allotment are sent to those whom the shares have been alloted, and letters of regret to those to whom no allotment has been made. When allotment is made, it results in a valid contract between the company and the applicants who now became the shareholders of the company.
