Explanation
Shares can be issued at discount subject to the following conditions:
(a) The shares must belong to a class already issued.
(b) Discount rate should not be more than 10% of its face value.
The issuer company allows its securities in 60 days from the date of receiving the application money for such securities, and if the company is not able to allot securities within the given time, it has to refund the application money to the subscribers within 15 days after the completion of sixty days.
When the board of directors of the company, while reissuing the forfeited shares, decide to re-issue them at a discount, then the discount allowed shall not exceed the amount forfeited such shares. Also, the discount allowed is debited to Share Forfeiture A/c while recording re-issue.
A forfeited share is an equity share investment which is cancelled by the issuing company. A share is forfeited when the shareholder fails to pay the subscription money (share allotment, first call, final call,etc.) called upon by the issuing company. Hence, option A is correct.
