A share call is a demand made on shareholders to pay a part of the share amount still due. The secretary has to see that every call is made and collected properly and lawfully. …

›Reveal solutionSolution
In bank correspondence, when secrecy is to be maintained, the customer's Account Number is quoted instead of the name and address — the correct option is (D).
Banks are duty-bound to maintain the secrecy of a customer's account and transactions. In routine bank correspondence (statements, intimations, confirmations), the bank therefore refers to the customer by a coded reference — the account number — rather than by openly writing the full name and address, which would reveal identity to anyone handling the letter.
- Punctuality and financial standing are qualities discussed in other contexts, not markers of secrecy.
- Name and address, if quoted, would defeat secrecy. …

A Whole-life Insurance Policy pays the insured amount to the nominee or assignee after the death of the insured — the correct option is (A).
