Explanation:

Hari  did not pay first and final call on 3000 shares. He paid allotment money on which securities premium is paid so there is no use of securities premium reserve.
So entry for forfeiture is-
Share Capital A/c   Dr. ₹30000 (3000 x 10) Called up amount
                To Share First Call A/c     ₹6000 (3000 x 2) Amount not received
                To Share Final Call A/c     ₹3000 (3000 x 1) Amount not received
                To Share Forfeiture A/c   ₹21000 (3000 x 7) Amount received
