Amount forfeited on shares is shown under which head of the balance sheet?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Share Forfeiture A/c represents money already received against shares, so until those shares are reissued the balance is added to Subscribed Capital in the Notes to Accounts on Share Capital, under Shareholders' Funds.

It is not a reserve, as the amount becomes a capital profit only after reissue.
