Cantiliver beam is having maximum load ( Share Force & Bending Moment) at its support.

So this is essential to remove formwork of cantiliver beam from its free end to avoid any accident if concrete does not properly haden. It is better to keep some vertical support under the support of cantiliver beam until it completely harden after 28 days.
