उत्तर
Justification:
- Forfeiture of shares is a process where the company forfeit the shares of a member or shareholder who fails to pay the call on shares or instalments of the issue price of his shares within a certain period of time after they fall due.
- In other words, when the shareholder fails to pay the full amount of share which he agreed to pay in instalments the company can cancel his shares.
- If a shareholder fails to pay calls on shares within a certain period, the Board of Directors, if authorised by the Articles of Association, can forfeit i.e. take away the ownership of a member.
- The company will give 14 days' notice after 14 days if the shareholder does not pay the company will forfeit his shares and strike his name from the register of shareholders. Thus, it is rightly justified that, Board of Directors has the authority to forfeit shares.
