X ltd. issued 10,000 equity shares of rs. 10/- payble rs. 3 on application 3 on allotment the balnce by two calls the amount so realize with the exception of the following

1. mr A holding 100 shares didnot pay the amount due on first call &mr. B holding 100% didnt pay the amoount on final call. all the shares were forfited & re issue only 150 shares ( all of A & balance of B) to Mr. D @ rate of Rs. 8 per Share. so the forfeiture & re issue entry.

i am confused about that either A's share were forfetted just after 1st call or second call was also asked for . or there was any penality system for payment after calls & if its different in different situaion whats the logic to know the company policy for forfeiture. plz expalin in detail

As per the question, it implies that shares held by A will be forfeited after the second and final call.

However, penalty for the non-payment of call money is charged in the form of interest on calls-in-arrears. Interest on calls-in-arrears will be charged, if the articles of association of the company permits. This interest is charged as per the rate mentioned in the articles of association of the company, if the articles of association permits for charging interest on calls-in-arrears but silent about the rate of interest then interest will charged at 5% p. a. as per Table A of the Companies Act 1956.
