10 February 2010 Dear Professionals

In the balance sheet of a company, calls in arrears are appearing for the past 10 years. Now the company wants to remove Calls in arrear from the balance sheet.

Pls advise the procedure to be followed by the company to forfeit calls in arrears

thanks & regards

10 February 2010 Check out why it has remained in arrears for so long before forfeiting the shares. Was any dividend paid during any year on those shares? The procedure is subject to what is stated in the Articles of Assn of the company in this regard, u have not stated whether its a listed co / pvt ltd co / closely held ltd unlisted co.

10 February 2010 Pl c sec108 of Cos Act '56, since the shares r listed follow SEBI guidelines also.Notice to the parties is important as any short comming in the issue of notice can invalidate a forfeiture
