Q:

Discuss the process of allotment of shares of a company in case of over subscription.

A:

‘Over Subscription’ is a case when applications for more shares are received than the number offered to the public for subscription. In such condition, three alternatives are available to the directors to deal with the situation:

1) They can accept some applications in full and totally reject the others.

2) They can make a pro rata allotment to all. and

3) They can adopt a combination of the above two alternatives.

a) First alternative, when the directors decide to fully accept some applications and totally reject the others. For example, a company invited applications for 20,000 shares and received the applications for 30,000 shares. The directors rejected the applications for 10,000 shares which are in excess of the required number and refunded their application money in full.

b) Second alternative, in this directors opt to make a proportionate allotment to all applicants (called pro-rata allotment) the excess application money received is normally adjusted towards the amount due on allotment. For example, in the event of applications for 20,000 shares being invited and those received are for 30,000 shares, it is decided to allot shares in the ratio of 2:3 to all applicants. It is a case of pro rata allotment and the excess application money received on 10,000 shares would be adjusted towards the amount due on the allotment of 20,000 shares.

c) Third alternative, when the application for some shares is rejected out rightly and pro rata allotment is made to the remaining applicants, the money on rejected applications is refunded and the excess application money received from applicants to whom pro rata allotment has been made is adjusted towards the amount due on the allotment of shares allotted. For example, in the event of applications for 20,000 shares being invited and those received are for 30,000 shares. The directors decided to reject the application for 5,000 shares outright and to make pro rata allotment of 20,000 shares to the applicants for the remaining 25,000 shares so that 4 shares are allotted to every 5 shares applied. In this case, the money on applications for 5,000 shares rejected would be refunded fully and on the remaining 5,000 shares (25,000 – 20,000) would be adjusted against the allotment amount due on 20,000 shares.

Q:

What do you mean by the term ‘Share’? Discuss the types of shares, which can be issued under the Companies Act, 2013 as amended to the date.

A:

Shares refer to the units into which the total share capital of a company is divided. Thus a share is a fractional part of the share capital and forms the basis of ownership interests in the company. The persons who contribute money through shares are called shareholders. As per Section 43 of the Companies Act, 2013 a Company may issue two types of shares:

(1) Preference Shares

(2) Equity Shares

(1) Preference Shares: These shares carry the following two preferential rights:

(a) Dividend at a fixed rate before any dividend is paid to equity shares.

(b) Repayment of capital before anything is paid to equity shares.

However, notwithstanding the above two conditions, a holder of preference shares may have a right to participate fully or to a limited extent in the surpluses of the company as specified in the Memorandum or Articles of the Company. Thus preference shares can be participating or non-participating, cumulative or non-cumulative with reference to dividend, convertible and non-convertible.

(2) Equity Shares: Equity share is that share which is not a preference share. The dividend on equity shares is not fixed and it may vary from year to year depending upon the amount of profits available for distribution. These are the most commonly issued class of shares which carry the maximum rewards and risks of the business.

Q:

Explain in brief the main categories in which the share capital of a company is divided.

A:

The various terms used in connection with the Share Capital of the company are the following:

(i) Authorised, Registered or Nominal Capital: It is the maximum capital which a company is authorised to issue shares during its lifetime. Authorised capital is stated in the Memorandum of Association.

(ii) Issued Capital: It is that part of Authorised Capital which is actually offered to the public for subscription.

(iii) Subscribed Capital: It is that part of the Issued Capital which has been subscribed for by the public. Subscribed Capital is shown in the Balance Sheet under two heads:

a) Subscribed and fully paid up: Subscribed and fully paid up capital: It is a case when entire nominal value of a share is called by the company and also paid by the shareholder.

b) Subscribed but not fully paid up: It is a case when:

(i) The company has called up the full nominal value of the share but the shareholder has not paid some part of the nominal value of the share.

(ii) The company has not called up the full nominal value of the share.

(iii) Called up Capital: It refers to that part of the face value of a share called by the directors from shareholders.

(iv) Paid up Capital: It refers to that part of the Called up Capital which has been actually received from the shareholders. When the shareholders have paid the entire call amount, the called up capital and paid up capital are same.

Q:

What is meant by the word ‘Company’? Describe its characteristics.

A:

A company is an association of person who contribute money or money’s worth to a common inventory and uses it for a common purpose. Company has certain special features which distinguish it from the other forms of organisation. These are as follows:

a) Body corporate: A company is formed according to the provisions of law enforced from time to time. Generally in India Companies are registered and formed under Companies Act.

b) Separate legal entity: A company has a separate legal entity which is which is distinct and separate from its members. It can hold and deal with any type of property. It can enter into contracts and even open a bank account in its own name.

c) Limited liability: The liability of the members of the company is limited to the extent of unpaid amount of the shares held by them.

d) Perpetual succession: A company being an artificial person created by law can be terminated only through law. The death or insanity or insolvency of any member of the company in no way affects the existence of the company.

e) Common seal: A Company being an artificial person cannot sign its name by itself. Therefore every company is required to have its own seal which acts as official signature of the company.

f) Transferability of shares: The shares of a public limited company are freely transferable. But the articles of the company can prescribe the manner in which the transfer of shares will be made.

Q:

Explain the term ‘Forfeiture of Shares’ and give the accounting treatment on forfeiture.

A:

Some shareholder may fail to pay one or more installments i.e. allotment money and/or call money. In such circumstances, the company can forfeit their shares i.e. the cancel the allotment and treat the amount already received thereon as forfeited to the company within the framework of the provisions in its articles. The following journal entries are passed on forfeiture of shares:

When issued at par:

Journal Entry

Particulars		L.F.	Dr. ₹	Cr. ₹
Share capital a/c	Dr.		Amount called up on forfeited shares
To calls in arrears a/c			Amount not received on forfeited shares
To share forfeiture a/c			Amount received on forfeited shares
(……shares forfeited for non-payment of first and final call money)

When issued at premium and premium money is already paid on forfeited shares then we will ignore the securities premium and the following entry will be passed.

Share capital a/c	Dr.	Amount called up on forfeited shares
To calls in arrears a/c		Amount not received on forfeited shares

Q:

Explain the terms ‘Over subscription’ and ‘Under subscription’. How are they dealt in accounting records?

A:

‘Over Subscription’ is a case when applications for more shares are received than the number offered to the public for subscription. In such condition, three alternatives are available to the directors to deal with the situation:

1) They can accept some applications in full and totally reject the others. The following entries are passed:

Journal Entries

Particulars			Dr. ₹	Cr. ₹
Bank a/c	Dr.
To share application a/c
(Application money received on ….. shares @ ₹ … per share)
Share application a/c		Dr.
To share capital a/c
To Bank a/c
(Application money transferred to share capital and money for excess application refunded)

2) They can make a pro rata allotment to all. The following entries are passed:

Journal Entries

Particulars			Dr. ₹	Cr. ₹
Bank A/c	Dr.
To share application a/c
(Application money received on ….. shares @ ₹ … per share)
Share application a/c		Dr.
To share capital a/c
To share allotment A/c
(Application money transferred to share capital and excess application money transferred to allotment account)

3) They can adopt a combination of the above two alternatives. The following entries are passed:

Journal Entries

Bank a/c	Dr.

Share application a/c		Dr.

To share allotment a/c
To Bank a/c
(Application money transferred to share capital, excess application money transferred to allotment account and amount refunded for rejected applications)

Under subscription is a situation where number of shares applied is less than the number for which application has been invited for subscription. For example a company offered 1, 00,000 shares for subscription to the public but the applications were received for 96,000 shares only. In such a situation, the allotment will be confirmed to 96,000 shares and entries shall be made accordingly. The following entries are passed:
