Hari, the holder of 1200 shares paid the amount due on first call @ Rs 2/- per share along with second and final call which became due after 1 month from the due date of first call. What interest will be charged from Hari on calls in arrears:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Rs 20
-
Number of shares = 1,200
-
Amount of first call = ₹2 per share
-
Amount paid 1 month late (since second and final call was due 1 month after first call)
-
Interest on Calls in Arrears = 10% p.a. (as per Table F of Companies Act, 2013)
Total amount in arrears = 1,200 shares×₹2= ₹2,400
Interest = 2,400× 10/100 x 1/12 = ₹20
