Question

What is the maximum amount of discount at which forfeited share can be re-issued?

Answer 1

The maximum amount of discount that can be allowed at the time of reissue depends upon the following two circumstances:

1. In case of the forfeited shares were originally issued at par or at premium, then these shares can be reissued with the maximum discount = amount forfeited on the re-issued share.

2. In case of the forfeited shares were originally issued at discount, then these forfeited shares can be reissued with the maximum discount equal = amount forfeited on the re-issued share + the discount allowed at the time of original issue.
