Options:

₹21,99,500

₹25,00,000

₹25,01,500

₹22,01,500

Correct Answer:

₹21,99,500

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) - ₹21,99,500.

Issued applications = 5,00,000
Applications received = 6,60,000
Rejected applications = 60,000
Remaining applications = 6,60,000 - 60,000
                                  = 6,00,000

In category a 4,00,000 applications all applications are accepted.
In category b 2,00,000 applications received to whom 50% allotted means 2,00,000 x 50/100 = 1,00,000

Allotment - ₹5 [including premium]
Premium = 10% i.e. 10 x 10/100 = ₹1.

Excess money received on applications adjusted against allotment = 1,00,000 x 3
                                                                                                = ₹3,00,000

Rahul allotted shares = 1,000
Applied shares by Rahul = 2,00,000/1,00,000 x 1000
                                    = 2000 shares.
Excess money received adjusted against allotment = 1,000 x 3
                                                                          = ₹3,000

Allotment money due from Rahul = 1,000 x 5
                                                = 5,000
Money not received from allotment = 5,000 - 3,000
                                                   = ₹2,000

Allotment money due on 5,00,000 shares = 5,00,000 x 5
                                                          = 25,00,000

Aman paid amount of call on allotment = 500 x 3
                                                        = ₹1,500

Amount received on allotment = 25,00,000 - 3,00,000 - 2,000 + 1,500
                                            = ₹21,99,500
