Explain liability of members in a company.

Answer»

Liability of members:

The liability of members is limited to the face value of number of shares he possesses of that company. This means that if a share-holder possesses 50 shares of ₹ 100 each then his total share in that company is of ₹ 5000. If the company goes bankrupt the share-holder will lose only ₹ 5000 he invested in the company and he will not be liable for the entire loss of the company.

  • Note that, the concept of unlimited liability is rarely seen in companies.
  • The company in its Memorandum of Association on mentions whether the share-holder will have limited or unlimited liability.
