As per Companies Act, 2013, the maximum rate of interest on calls in arrears is 10% p.a.

(B) Forfeiture of share- If the calls in arrears are not paid within the stipulated time, the company may decide to forfeit the shares of the defaulting shareholders. The company typically issues a notice to shareholders to inform them about payment otherwise their shares will be forfeited. Forfeiture involves canceling the shares and removing the shareholder's rights.

(D) Reissue of share- After the forfeiture of shares, the company has the option to reissue these forfeited shares to new shareholders. This process helps the company recover the value of the unpaid calls.
