The correct answer is option 4- Zero. Amount received on application on 3,00,000 shares = 3,00,000 x 2 Excess amount received on application on 2,00,000 shares. Amount due on allotment = 1,00,000 shares x 3 As excess money is ₹4,00,000 which can be adjusted towards allotment. But money needed on allotment is ₹3,00,000 so ₹1,00,000 will be refunded. |
