Give answer on the basis of Information given below.

Poonam Ltd. invited application for 5,00,000 shares of ₹10 each @10% premium payable as follows:

Application - ₹3
Allotment - ₹5 [including premium]
1^st and final call - balance

Applications were received for 6,60,000 shares. Application for 60,000 shares were rejected and pro-rata allotment was made as follows:

(a) 4,00,000 shares - full
(b) 2,00,000 shares - 50%

Mr. Aman, who was allotted 500 shares under category (a), paid full amount along with allotment money. Whereas another shareholder, Mr. Rahul who was allotted 1000 shares under category (b) failed to pay the allotment money. His shares were subsequently forfeited. These shares were reissued at ₹14 per share for ₹7 paid up. Final call has not yet been made.

Amount of forfeiture of shares allotted to Rahul:

₹6,000

The correct answer is Option (4) - ₹6,000.

Rahul allotted shares = 1000
Applied shares by Rahul = 200000/100000 x 1000
                                    = 2000 shares.
Excess money received adjusted against allotment = 1000 x 3
                                                                          = ₹3000
Allotment money due from Rahul = 1000 x 5 = 5000
Money not received from allotment = 5000 - 3000
                                                   = ₹2000

Received amount is forfeited = 3000 + 3000
                                          = ₹6000
