Issue, Forfeiture and Re-issue of Shares
Concept
A company may be a group of individuals who donate money or price to common shares and use it for a standard purpose. Within the words of Judge James, "a company may be a group of individuals united for a standard purpose." Article 3 (1) (i) of the Businesses Act of 1956 defines a corporation as "a company established and registered under this Act or an existing company".
Company Characteristics
- It's a voluntary association of individuals.
- There's a separate legal entity.
- There's a standard seal.
- It's permanent inheritance.
Company Type

- Guarantee Company-The liability of a member of such a corporation is restricted to the quantity he undertakes to contribute to the Debentures 's assets if the company is liquidated.
- Unlimited Companies – In these companies, the members have unlimited liability and therefore the members are personally susceptible to the creditors of the Debentures that creates up for the shortfall. Such companies are rare lately.
III. Based on Public Investment

a) Limiting the number of members to 50,
b) Prohibiting invitations to the overall public to subscribe shares or Debentures,
c) Restrict the transfer of shares.

Share Class
A. Preferred Shares
Shares that enjoy preferential dividends and capital repayments when the Debentures is liquidated instead of shares are called preferred share. Holders of preferred shares receive fixed rate of interest dividends.
Types of Preferred Shares
- Cumulative Preferred Share – For these shares, the delinquent dividend is going to be carried forward and paid from subsequent year's profits.
- Non-Cumulative Preferred Shares – If dividends don't accumulate and aren't carried forward to next year, they're called non-cumulative preferred shares.
- Participating Preferred Shares – A balance of interests shared by some preferred shareholders (after meeting the share dividend) additionally to fixed dividends. Such shares are participation preferred shares.
- Non-Participating Preferred Shares – These shares only receive fixed rate dividends. These aren't a part of the excess profit.
- Redeemable Preferred Shares – If the well-liked share is returned to shareholders after a period of your time, these preferred shares e-shares are called redeemable preferred shares.
- Convertible Preferred Shares – These shares are entitled to conversion into shares within a specified period or on a specified date, subject to issuance conditions.
B. Shares
Shares aren't preferred shares. Shares don't provide a preferential benefit in terms of dividends or capital repayments. Therefore, these are referred to as common shares. There's no fixed dividend rate paid to shareholders, and this rate can vary from year to year. At the time of liquidation, equity capital is going to be repaid last. However, shareholders do have full voting rights.
Types of Share Capital
- Authorized (Registered or Nominal) Capital – This is often the utmost amount of capital that a corporation is allowed to boost through a public subscription.
- Issued Capital – a number of the authorized capital generally provided for subscriptions is named Issued Capital.
- Participating Capital – The portion of issued capital that receives an application from a public institution is named Participating Capital.
- Called Capital – The portion of the subscribed capital called or requested by the Debentures is named called capital.
- Paid-In Capital – The portion of the called capital provided by the member and truly paid is named paid-in capital. The outstanding balance of the called capital is named the outstanding capital or delinquent call.
- Reserve Capital – The portion of uncalled capital that's called only the Debentures is liquidated.
Difference between Equity Shares and Preference Shares
Equity Shares | Preference Shares |
1 It is an ownership security 2 Dividend rate is not fixed 3 Capital is repaid only in winding up 4 These shares have voting rights 5 Face value is lower |
4 These shares generally do not have voting rights 5 Face value is higher |
Issue of Share Capital
Shares can be issued at face value, premium, or discount. If a shareholder needs to pay the company the par value of the shares, the shares are said to be issued at par. Shares are said to be issued at a premium if shareholders are required to pay more than par by the company. Shares are said to be issued at a discounted price if shareholders need to pay the company less than par. For example, a company issues shares with a par value of Rs.10 at Rs.10. It's a par issue. When issued in Rs. 12, the problem is premium. If issued in Rs.8, the issue will be discounted.
The issue price of the shares can be received in one installment or in another installment. If the issue is a different installment payment, you may be paid for the application, allocation, and one or more calls. The application amount is called the application amount, the membership fee is called the allocated amount, and the rest is called the billed amount. According to the SEBI guidelines, the application fee issued must be at least 25% of the issue price (5% according to the Cost Act).
Share Allocation
Allocation of shares means accepting the applicant's offer to purchase shares. The Directors have the discretion to reject or accept the application. However, a public company cannot allocate its shares unless a minimum subscription is subscribed to by the general public and the amount of application is received. After allocating shares to applicants who will become shareholders of the company.

When Both Preferred Share and Share Are Issued
If the company issues both preferred shares and shares, the journal entries will be written separately for each type of equity capital.
Under Share Subscription
The application for shares received may be less than the number of shares issued. It is called under the subscription. In this case, the allotment will be the same as the number of tendered shares, not the number of issued shares.
Share Oversubscription
The application for shares accepted may exceed the number of shares issued. This is called oversubscription. If you have an oversubscription, you may not be able to issue shares to all applicants. In such situations, the Company shall reject some applications altogether, allocate the full amount to some applications, and prorate some applications. Proportioning is the ratio of the number of shares to be allotted to the number of shares to be applied, and is to be distributed to each application. If the application is completely rejected, it will be returned to the applicant. With proportional distribution, the excess is adjusted at the time of allocation or call. The surplus will be refunded to the applicant even after the adjustment. The journal is

Use of equation for determining the face value of shares to be issued
An equation can be applied when the given amount of premium in security premium A / c in the balance sheet plus amount of premium to be obtained from fresh issue of shares is not sufficient to pay premium on redemption of preference shares. Premium A / c given in balance sheet cannot be used for redeeming the face value of shares.

[Redeemable preference share capital + premium on redemption] = [{Balance in security premium A / c in B / S} + {Revenue profit available for redemption} + {N} + {N x% rate of premium on fresh issue}]
(b) When fresh issue of shares is to be made at a discount:
[Redeemable preference share capital + premium on redemption] = [{Balance in security premium A / c in B / S} + {Revenue profit available for redemption} + {N}-{N x% rate of discount on fresh issue}]
Note: N = Nominal value of fresh issue of shares to be made for redemption
Problem 13:
The amount of new shares to be issued will be determined from the following information related to A Ltd. Redeemable Preferred Stock Rs.200000, Redemption Premium 10%, Splitable Profit Rs.60000, General Reserve Balance Rs.40000, Security Premium A / c Rs.15000. If the new issue is (I) 5% premium and (II) 10% discount.
- A13. If fresh issue is made at a premium of 5%:
Redeemable preference share capital + premium on redemption] = [{Balance in security premium A/c in B/S} + {Revenue profit available for redemption} + {N} + {N x % rate of premium on fresh issue}]
[200000 + 20000] = [15000+ 60000+ 40000+N + 0.05N] 1.05N = 220000‐115000
N = 105000 = Rs. 100000
1.05
II. If fresh issue is made at a discount of 10%:
[Redeemable preference share capital + premium on redemption] = [{Balance in security premium A/c in B/S} + {Revenue profit available for redemption} + {N} ‐ {N x % rate of discount on fresh issue}]
[200000 + 20000] = [15000+ 60000+ 40000+N ‐ 0.1N] 0.9N = 220000‐115000
N = 105000 = Rs. 116667

Key takeaways:
- Shares represent the ownership of a company or financial asset owned by an investor who exchanges capital in exchange for these units.
- Common stock enables voting rights and possible profits through rising prices and dividends.
- Preferred Share does not offer price increases, but can be redeemed at attractive prices and offer regular dividends.
- Most companies have shares, but the stock exchange only has shares in listed companies.
- Shares of a listed company lost or abandoned because the owner did not comply with certain purchase agreements or restrictions are considered confiscated.
- If the shares are confiscated, the shareholders will no longer bear the remaining balance and waive the potential profitability of the shares.
- Expired shares are returned to the issuer, such as when an employee leaves the company before stock options are fully vested.
- The issuer can reissue the confiscated shares at the desired price. Reissues are usually discounted from the initial price.
- The price discovery process involves generating and recording investor demand for stocks before they reach the issue price.
- Book building is the de facto mechanism for companies to price IPOs and is highly recommended by all major stock exchanges as the most efficient way to price securities.
- Stock bonus issuance is stock issued by the company in lieu of cash dividends. Shareholders can sell their shares to satisfy their liquidity needs.
- Bonus stock increases the company's equity capital, but not its net worth.
- A rights issue is to encourage existing shareholders to buy additional new shares in the company.
- At the rights offering, each shareholder is entitled to purchase a proportional distribution of additional shares at a specific price within a specific period of time (typically 16 to 30 days).
- Shareholders are not obliged to exercise this right.
- Underfunded businesses can look to rights issues to raise money when they really need it.
- A rights issue is a way for companies struggling to raise funds frequently to repay their debts.
- Shareholders can purchase new shares at a discounted price for a certain period of time.
- In a rights issue, more shares are issued to the market, which can dilute and fall stock prices.
- Repurchase is when a company buys its own stock on the stock market.
- Repurchase reduces the number of issued shares, thereby increasing the (positive) profit per share and often the value of the shares.
- A share buyback can show investors that they have enough cash in case of an emergency and are unlikely to have an economic problem.
- Preferred stock (preferred stock) is the stock of a company in which dividends are paid to shareholders before dividends on common stock are paid.
- There are four types of preferred stock: cumulative (guaranteed), non-cumulative, participatory, and convertible.
- Preferred stocks are ideal for risk-averse investors and are callable (issuers can redeem them at any time).

- Bearer Debentures-For these Debentures, the company does not maintain the Debenture holder registration and these are transferable by mere delivery.
- Redeemable Debentures – These Debentures will be repaid in one lump sum or in installments after a period of time.
- Permanent or non-redeemable Debentures – These Debentures will not be repaid for the life of the company.
- Convertible Debentures – These Debentures may be converted into shares within or after a specified period of time, at the discretion of the holder.

2. Redemption from Capital
When a bond is redeemed from capital, no divisible profit is secured for the redemption of the bond. Redemption from capital reduces the liquid resources available to the company. In accordance with the guidelines issued by SEBI, a company must create a bond redemption reserve (DRR) equivalent to 50% of the bond issuance before it can begin redemption. However, it is not necessary to create a DRR in the following cases.
- Debentures with a maturity of 18 months or less
- Full Convertible Debenture
3. Redemption from Profit
If sufficient profit is transferred from the P & L budget A / c to the bond redemption reserve A / c at the time of bond redemption, such redemption is said to be out of profit. It reduces the profit available for dividends. The next entry is passed for the transfer of profits
P & L Appropriation A/c Dr
To Debenture Redemption Reserve A/c
In accordance with SEBI guidelines, DRR (50% of issued corporate bonds) is required for corporate bonds with a maturity of more than 18 months. When all bonds have been redeemed, DRR A / c will be transferred to the general reserve and will be terminated. The entries are as follows
Debenture Redemption Reserve A / c Dr
To General Reserve A / c

4. Redemption by Sinking Fund
With this redemption method, a part of the profit (fixed amount) is secured every year, and a bond reduction fund (corporate bond redemption fund) is created. A sinking fund that I invested in external securities. Interest received on such investments will be reinvested as usual, with an amount set separately from the profit. It lasts until the bond redemption date. The investment is sold and the cash thus realized is used to repay the corporate bonds. With this method, a sinking fund A / c (bond redemption fund A / c) and a sinking fund investment A / c (bond redemption fund investment A / c) are opened. After redemption, the balance of the sinking fund A / c will be transferred to the general reserve. This method requires the following entries:
At the end of first year:
- For the amount set aside every year
P & L Appropriation A/c Dr

Problem 19
On January 1, 2007, Balu Ltd issued a 6% corporate bond of Rs 1000. Each bond will be repaid at a premium of 10% at the end of four years. It was decided to create a sinking fund for that purpose. The investment is expected to result in a net return of 5%. According to the table of the Sinking Fund, the annual investment amount of Re.0.232012 will be Re.1 of 5% in 4 years. The investment was made only in multiples of 100. On December 31, 2010, the bank balance was Rs.40000 and the investment was Rs.82000. The bond has paid off. Enter the journal to display the ledger account excluding interest on corporate bonds.

6. Redemption by Conversion
The bond holders of a company may be given the option to convert the bonds into shares or new bonds within a set period of time. New shares or bonds can be issued at par or at a premium or discount. The following entry is created for this purpose:
Old Debentures A/c Dr
Discount on issue of shares/debentures A/c Dr (if issue at discount)
To New Share Capital/ Debenture A/c
To Premium on issue of shares/ debentures A/c (if issue at premium)
Problem 22
On April 1, 2009, Fast Ltd issued 800 12% corporate bonds of Rs.1000, each at Rs.950. Bondholders had the option to convert their shares to 6% preferred stock of Rs 100 each with a premium of Rs 25 per share. On March 31, 2010, these unpaid bonds earned one-year interest. Holders of 50 corporate bonds have announced their intention to convert their shares to 13% preferred stock. As of March 31, 2010, we will journal the transaction.

Own Debentures
Directors may purchase bonds whenever they determine that the market price is favourable to the company. These purchased bonds can be cancelled by the company or stored as an investment called own bonds that can be reissued later when needed.
Purchases of corporate bonds are accounted for in the same way as regular investments. The entry looks like this:
Own Debentures A / c Dr (with purchase price)
To Bank A / c
Your corporate bond A / c will appear on the asset side of B / S (under “Investment”) until cancelled or reissued. If the company wants to cancel its investment in its corporate bonds, it will be passed the following entry:
Debentures A/c Dr (with face value)
Loss on redemption of debentures A/c Dr (for loss)
To own Debentures A/c (with purchase price)
To Profit on Redemption of Debentures A/c (for profit)
For transfer of profit on redemption:
Profit on Redemption of Debentures A/c Dr To Capital Reserve
Problem 23
A company bought 6% corporate bonds of Rs.30000 and Rs.100 for investment at Rs.95 respectively. Six months later, the bond was cancelled. Display the journal.

Underwriting of Shares and Debentures
First of all
Underwriting is a contract to subscribe to a company's securities if, with or without conditions, existing shareholders or the general public of the company do not subscribe to the securities offered.
When a company participates in an initial public offering (IPO), it may face certain uncertainties as to whether its stock or other securities will be fully subscribed to. In accordance with SEBI Guidelines 14 (4) (b), if the company fails to recover 90% of the offer amount, it will have to forcibly repay the person who took over the shares and generated the lot. Of the issuance costs to waste. This uncertainty can be avoided with the help of a specialized group of risk redeemers called underwriters.
Underwriting Committee
- You can pay in cash, fully paid stocks, corporate bonds, or a combination of all of these.
- The Companies Act 2013 stipulates that commission payments should be approved by the Articles of Incorporation and that the maximum commissions to be paid are:
In case of shares | 5% of the issue price of the shares |
In case of debentures | 2 % of the issue price of the debentures |
a) In the case of stocks 5% of the issue price
b) In the case of bonds 2% of the issue price of bonds
3. Underwriting fees are not paid for amounts borne by promoters, employees, directors, their friends and colleagues.
4. Commissions are paid for the entire issue undertaken, regardless of the fact that the entire issue may be taken over by the general public.
5. Fees are calculated based on the issue price unless otherwise stated.
Only underwriters and co-underwriters
Only underwriter:
If the problem is underwritten by only one underwriter, such underwriting is called "only underwriting".
For example, if A issued 100,000 shares of each of X Ltd, it would be Sole Underwriting.
In such cases, the distinction between marked and unmarked applications is less important.
Co-underwriter:
We may enter into underwriting agreements with a large number of underwriters. This arrangement is called joint underwriting (joint underwriting). The individual underwriter is only responsible to the extent of the shares he underwrites.
For example, if 100,000 shares of each Rs.10 of X Ltd. Are underwritten by A, B, C, D in a ratio of 2: 2: 1: 1, it is a joint underwriting.
In such cases, the profits of unmarked applications are given to the underwriters as a percentage of their total debt.
The benefits of the marked application will be given to the relevant underwriters for whom the favourable application has been marked.
Underwriting contract
Conditional underwriting:
In this type of contract, the underwriter agrees to acquire an agreed percentage of the shares rather than by the general public. If the shares are fully subscribed to by the general public, the underwriter will not acquire the shares.
Solid underwriting:
In this type of contract, the underwriter agrees to acquire a specified number of shares, regardless of the number of shares applied by the general public. Unless otherwise agreed, the underwriter's liability will be determined without consideration of the number of shares "fixed" by the underwriter.
For example, X Ltd. The entire issuance of is undertaken as follows:
A 1,60,000 shares (underwriting 3,600 shares) B 1,60,000 shares (underwriting 2,000 shares) C 80,000 shares (underwriting 1,200 shares) D 80,000 shares (underwriting 10,000 shares)
In this case, only 4,63,200 shares (ie, 4,80,000 – 16,800 fixed subscriptions) will be publicly offered and 16,800 shares will be acquired by the underwriter, even if the issuance is oversubscribed.
- A solid underwriting benefit may give either
- To individual underwriters based on individual company underwriting, or
- To all underwriters as a percentage of total debt
That is, a company's underwriting can be treated the same as either a "marked application" or an "unmarked application."
Types of shared applications
Types of Applications | Treatment for different types of application |
Marked (Bearing the stamp of individual underwriter) | Treatment No.1 Marked applications are always credited to the individual underwriter |
Unmarked (Do not bear any stamp of underwriter. Received by Company directly) | Treatment No.2 Unmarked applications are always distributed among all the underwriters |
Firm Underwriting (Applications made by the underwriters themselves) | Treatment No.3 The applications for the firm shares are either credited to individual underwriter (i.e. Treatment No.1) or credited to all (i.e. Treatment No.2) depending upon the conditions/ requirement of underwriting agreement. |
Full and partial underwriting
Complete underwriting:
If the entire problem is underwritten by the underwriter, it is called full underwriting.
For example, X Ltd. Has decided to publicly issue 100,000 shares of Rs.10, where A, B, C and D are wholly underwriters in a ratio of 2: 2: 1: 1.
In such cases, the profits of unmarked applications are given to the underwriters as a percentage of their total debt.
Partial underwriting:
If part of the entire problem (for example, 75%) is underwritten by the underwriter, it is called partial underwriting.
For example, X Ltd. Has decided to go public for 100,000 shares of Rs.10. Of these, 90,000 shares are underwritten by A, B, C and D in a ratio of 2: 2: 1: 1. This means that 10,000 shares will be underwritten by the company itself.
In this case, if the marked application diagram is not listed separately
(Marked applications = total number of applications received x percentage of underwriting.)
For the uncovered part the company can be said to be responsible, but the company remains unsubscribed rather than gaining its share.

Key takeaways:
- A bond is a type of debt instrument that is not backed by collateral and normally has a maturity of more than 10 years.
- Debt securities are only secured by the creditworthiness and reputation of the issuer.
- Both companies and governments often issue bonds to raise capital or funds.
- Some bonds may be converted into shares, others may not.
- A debenture redemption reserve is a requirement imposed on Indian companies that issue bonds where they must create a debenture redemption service to protect investors from the possibility of a corporate default.
- This rule provides investors with some level of protection, as debt securities are not backed by an asset, lien or other form of collateral.
- The reserve must represent at least 25% of the nominal value of the bonds issued.
- A lump sum payment is an amount that is paid at once, as opposed to an amount that is divided and paid in installments.
- A lump sum payment is not the best option for all beneficiaries; For some, it may make more sense for the funds to be annualized as periodic payments.
- Depending on interest rates, tax status, and penalties, an annuity can end up with a net present value (NPV) higher than the lump sum.
- An installment debt is a loan that is paid in regular installments, like most mortgages and auto loans.
- Installment loans are good for borrowers, as they are a way to finance expensive items, while providing lenders with regular payments.
- Installment loans are generally less risky than alternative loans that do not have installment payments, such as balloon payment loans or interest-only loans.
- The discount on the bond issue is a capital loss. It will appear on the asset side of the balance sheet until it is written off.
- The debentures are issued in the same way as the shares are issued. The company issues a prospectus that invites applications along with a sum of money called application money.
- The premium in the issuance of the bond account and the discount in the issue of the bond account take place in the securities premium account and the discount in the issue of the share account, respectively.
- Since the debentures can be issued at par, at a premium, or at a discount and can be redeemed at par or at a premium, there are several possible cases of entries that must be approved at the time of issuance of the debentures.
- The name Issue Premium has been changed to Securities Premium. Obligations are also securities
- The discount in the issuance of the debenture account and the loss in the issuance of the debenture account can be transferred to the cost account of issuance of debentures.
- The premium on issuance of the bond account represents a capital gain and must be transferred to Capital Reserve.
