the calls then made upon the shares in respect of which such advances have been made, the
Company may pay interest at such rate as the members paying such sum in advance and the
Board of Directors agree upon. But the moneys so paid in excess of the amount of call shall not

in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable, has been given to the registered holder
for the time being of the share or the persons entitled thereto by reason of his death or insolvency

recognise such executors, administrators or holders of succession certificate or the legal
representatives unless they shall have first obtained probate or letters of Administration or
Succession Certificate or other legal representation, as the case may be, from a Court in India.

respect of the shares.

reason of the death or insolvency of the holder shall be entitled to the same dividends and other
advantages to which he would be entitled as if he were registered holder of the share, except that

it, to exercise any right conferred by membership in relation to the meeting of the Company

Company shall not be liable in consequence of its registering or giving effect to any transfer of
shares made or purporting to be made by any apparent legal owner thereof (as shown or
