Question:

X Ltd. invited applications for issuing 50,000 equity shares of Rs.10 each. The amount was payable as follows: On Application: Rs.2 per share, On Allotment: Rs.2 per share, On First Call: Rs.3 per share, On Second and Final Call: Balance amount. Applications for 70,000 shares were received. Applications for 10,000 shares were rejected and the application money was refunded. Shares were allotted to the remaining applicants on a pro-rata basis, and excess money received with applications was transferred towards sums due on allotment and calls, if any. Gopal, who applied for 600 shares, paid his entire share money with application. Ghosh, who had applied for 6,000 shares, failed to pay the allotment money and his shares were immediately forfeited. These forfeited shares were re-issued to Sultan for Rs.20,000; Rs.4 per share paid up. The first call money and the second and final call money were called and duly received.
