Every company needs a lot of funds to do business. It is not an easy thing for one person or 
for a group of only two or three people to put all the money required for doing business 
themselves on a large scale. It is necessary to take help from others for collecting a large 
sum of money. For this purpose these people start a company and then ask public to 
contribute money for doing business. The money that is collected for doing business forms

group of persons to contribute entire money towards the capital of company. So, the total 
capital of a company is divided into some small value of equal amounts. This is called as

FAQs on Unit 1 Topic: Shares: Issue, Reissue and Forfeiture, B.Com Hons., IVth Sem, DU - B Com

1. What is the process of issuing shares?
Ans. The process of issuing shares involves the following steps: 1. Determining the need for capital: The company assesses its financial requirements and decides on the number of shares to be issued. 2. Approval from the board of directors: The board of directors approves the decision to issue shares and sets the terms and conditions. 3. Filing of prospectus: A prospectus is prepared and filed with the regulatory authorities, providing information about the company and the shares being issued. 4. Promotion and marketing: The company promotes the shares to potential investors through various channels like advertisements, roadshows, and presentations. 5. Receiving applications and allotment: Interested investors submit their applications for shares, and the company reviews and allots the shares based on the criteria mentioned in the prospectus. 6. Listing on stock exchange: After the allotment, the company applies for listing on a stock exchange to enable trading of its shares.
2. What is the difference between issuing shares and reissuing shares?
Ans. Issuing shares refers to the initial offering of shares by a company to raise capital. It involves the creation and sale of new shares to investors. On the other hand, reissuing shares refers to the process of offering previously issued shares for sale again. These shares may have been bought back by the company through share buybacks or may be shares held by existing shareholders that they want to sell. Reissuing shares does not involve the creation of new shares, but rather the transfer of ownership of existing shares.
3. What are the reasons for share forfeiture?
Ans. Share forfeiture occurs when a shareholder fails to fulfill their obligations related to the shares they hold. The reasons for share forfeiture may include: 1. Non-payment of calls: If a shareholder fails to pay the amount due on a call made by the company, the company has the right to forfeit their shares. 2. Breach of terms: If a shareholder violates any terms or conditions mentioned in the company's articles of association or the share subscription agreement, their shares may be forfeited. 3. Non-compliance with regulations: If a shareholder fails to comply with the regulations set by the regulatory authorities or stock exchange, their shares may be forfeited. 4. Insolvency or bankruptcy: If a shareholder becomes insolvent or bankrupt, their shares may be forfeited to settle their outstanding debts.
4. What happens to forfeited shares?
Ans. When shares are forfeited, they become the property of the company. The company can choose to cancel the forfeited shares or reissue them to new shareholders. If the forfeited shares are canceled, the company's share capital and the total number of shares issued will be reduced. On the other hand, if the forfeited shares are reissued, the company can sell them to new investors and raise additional capital.
5. What are the consequences of share forfeiture for the shareholder?
Ans. Share forfeiture has several consequences for the shareholder, including: 1. Loss of ownership rights: Once the shares are forfeited, the shareholder loses all ownership rights and privileges associated with the shares, such as voting rights and dividend entitlements. 2. Loss of invested capital: If the shareholder has not paid the full amount on the shares, the forfeited shares are considered a loss of their invested capital. 3. No refund of previous payments: The shareholder is not entitled to receive any refund of the amount they have already paid on the forfeited shares. 4. Liability for unpaid amounts: If the forfeited shares were partly paid, the shareholder may still be liable to pay the remaining unpaid amount, as per the company's articles of association.
