    To 12% Debenture Allotment A/c                  र6,30,000
(Allotment money received)

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 1-
Bank A/c   Dr.                                 र6,30,000
    To 12% Debenture Allotment A/c                  र6,30,000
(Allotment money received)

Face value of debenture = ₹100
Application amount per debenture = ₹30
Allotment money per debenture = 100-30
                                                   = ₹70

Application received for Debentures = 9000
Allotment money = 9000 X 70
                           = र6,30,000
