| 1 | Share Capital | |
| Issued: 2,00,000 Equity Shares of ₹10 each | 20,00,000 | |
| Subscribed, Called-up and Paid-up: 1,98,200 Equity Shares of ₹10 each | 19,82,000 | |

Working Notes: Category (ii) allottee count = 60,000 ÷ 80,000 × 1,200 = 900 shares; excess application money = ₹1,500; allotment shortfall = 3,600 − 1,500 = ₹2,100. Category (i) and (ii) forfeitures use the called-up rate ₹9/share (application ₹5 + allotment face ₹2 + first call ₹2), since these shares had not yet reached the final call stage. Category (iii) fully paid application and allotment, only defaulting on both calls, hence called-up ₹10/share (full face value) with no premium reversal needed. Capital Reserve: Category (i) — ₹5,000 credit − ₹2,000 discount = ₹3,000 (all 1,000 shares reissued); Category (ii) — (6,000 ÷ 900 − ₹2 discount) × 300 = ₹1,400; total = ₹4,400.
