  • The liability of shareholders of the company is always limited.
  • It is limited to the extent of the unpaid part of the face value of the shares held by them. Personal property of shareholders will not be taken or sold to pay the creditors or loan of the company.
  • Shareholders are not concerned with other liabilities of the company.
  • eg. If a shareholder has bought 100 shares of ₹ 10/- each, then he is liable only for ₹ 1000/- and not more.
  • Thus, the liability of shareholders of a Joint Stock Company is limited.
