Forfeiture

Forfeiture handles the cancellation of partly-paid or non-compliant shares where a member has failed to meet a call or breached a holding condition. The screen records the affected holding, the reason, and the units forfeited, then posts their removal and reallocates them to the SACCO's forfeited-shares pool. It enforces the by-law remedy for unpaid calls.

Notes & rules

  • Forfeiture is typically triggered by an unmet call or a breached eligibility condition.

  • Forfeited units may later be reissued through a subsequent allotment.
  • The action is logged with reason and approver for audit and dispute handling.
