Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

The correct sequence of steps leading to forfeiture of shares follows the chronological order of share issuance process:

Issue of Prospectus (A) → A company first invites the public to subscribe for shares by issuing a prospectus containing details about the company and the share offering.

Receipt of Application (C) → Interested investors submit their applications along with application money to purchase shares.

Allotment of Shares (D) → After scrutinizing applications, the company allots shares to applicants. The allottees become shareholders and are required to pay allotment money and subsequent calls.

Shares Forfeiture (B) → When a shareholder fails to pay the allotment money or call money despite proper notice, the company forfeits their shares as per the provisions in the Articles of Association.

Forfeiture is the final consequence when a shareholder defaults on payment, which can only occur after shares have been properly issued and allotted. The sequence (A), (C), (D), (B) represents the natural progression from share issue to forfeiture.
