Recapulitation: Collaborating Technique

The document discusses the forfeiture of shares by a company. It states that if a shareholder fails to pay an amount called by the company as allowed in its Articles of Association, the company can forfeit or cancel the shares of the defaulting shareholder after providing due notice. On forfeiture, the shares are cancelled and the share capital amount is reduced by the amount paid on those shares, which is then transferred to a share forfeiture account. This share forfeiture account balance is presented under share capital in the balance sheet until the forfeited shares are reissued. The accounting entries for forfeiture vary depending on whether the shares were originally issued at par or premium and the amount of premium received.

FORFEITURE OF SHARES
A company may forfeit or cancel the shares if any shareholder failed to pay the amount called from him, if its
AOA allows forfeiture, after giving due notice to the defaulting shareholder.

On forfeiture, the shares are cancelled and to that extent Share Capital is reduced. However, whatever amount
had been paid by shareholder earlier, company needs not to pay back, that amount to be kept in a separate
account named as ‘Share Forfeiture’ account and will be utilized to provide discount on reissue of such forfeited
shares.

Till the time forfeited shares are reissued, balance of Share Forfeiture Account is added to the Subscribed
capital under the head Share Capital in the Balance Sheet of the company.

Accounting entry for forfeiture of shares will vary according to the situation:-
