No Dividend on call in arrear !!

3. As per case no. 1 now the company makes final call on 15/09/2008. At AGM held on 30/09/2008 company declares dividend. Now on what amount dividend will be declared. On full value of shares or partly paid amount

It depends on the time provided to shareholder to pay call (which should be minimum 14 days), if as on the record date this time has elapsed, and article provides dividend only payable on paid on amout, then , then only on partly paid amt.

otherwise on full amt.
