There are two statements. Mark your answer as per the options given below.

Statement 1: A company cannot forfeit shares of any shareholder due to non-payment of any amount.
Statement 2: Forfeited can be reissued again only when the company is winding up.

Both statements are wrong

The correct answer is option 4- Both statements are wrong.

Statement 1: A company cannot forfeit shares of any shareholder due to non-payment of any amount- THIS IS INCORRECT as forfeiture of shares means forfeit the shares due on non payment of money by shareholders. It may happen that some shareholders fail to pay one or more instalments, viz. allotment money and/or call money. In such circumstances, the company can forfeit their shares, i.e. cancel their allotment and treat the amount already received thereon as forfeited to the company within the framework of the provisions in its articles.

Statement 2: Forfeited can be reissued again only when the company is winding up- THIS IS INCORRECT as on winding up business is closed. It depends on the company after the forfeiture whether to reissue the shares or not. The directors can either cancel or re-issue the forefeited shares. In most cases, they reissue such shares which may be at par, at premium or at a discount. Forfeited shares may be reissued as fully paid at a par, premium, discount. In this context, it may be noted that the amount of discount allowed cannot exceed the amount that had been received on forfeited shares at the time of initial issue, and that the discount allowed on reissue of forfeited shares should be debited to the ‘Forfeited Share Account’. The balance, if any, left in the Share-Forfeited Account relating to reissued Shares, should be treated as capital profit and transferred to Capital Reserve Account.
