Working Notes: Sundar applied for 1,500 × 100 ÷ 1,000 = 150 shares. Money received on application (150 × ₹10) = ₹1,500; retained for his 100 allotted shares (100 × ₹10) = ₹1,000; excess = ₹500. Allotment due (100 × ₹25) = ₹2,500, less excess ₹500 = ₹2,000 unpaid (Calls-in-Arrears on allotment). Capital Reserve = Share Forfeiture credit (₹1,500) less discount on reissue (₹1,000) = ₹500.
