Application money on 15,000 shares (₹ 30,000) is received; 5,000 rejected shares are refunded ₹ 10,000 and 10,000 shares allotted. Allotment ₹ 40,000 and first call ₹ 30,000 are fully received; on the second and final call of ₹ 10,000, Kavita (1,000 shares) does not pay ₹ 1,000, shown as Calls in Arrears. Paid-up capital = ₹ 99,000.

Working notes:

  • Applications received 15,000 shares; rejected 5,000 shares (refund 5,000 x ₹ 2 = ₹ 10,000); allotted 10,000 shares.
  • Second and final call due = 10,000 x ₹ 1 = ₹ 10,000; received from all except Kavita (1,000 x ₹ 1 = ₹ 1,000 in arrears), so ₹ 9,000 received.
