Securities Premium — How dealt when shares are forfeited
In case where Securities Premium Reserve Account has been credited and also it has been received—Securities
Premium Reserve Account is not debited because of the restrictions on its use due to Section 52(2) of the
Companies Act, 2013 as to utilisation.

its face value. But the discount on reissue of a share cannot be more than the forfeited amount of that share
credited to Forfeited Shares Account at the time of forfeiture.
Regarding Reissue of Forfeited Shares, always keep in mind that:

1. Discount on Reissue of forfeited shares cannot exceed the forfeited amount on such shares.
2. If the Discount on reissue is less than the amount forfeited, the surplus (i.e., gain on reissue of shares)
is transferred to Capital Reserve.
3. When only a part of the forfeited shares is reissued then the gain on reissue of such shares is transferred
to Capital Reserve.
4. The forfeited amount on shares not yet reissued is shown in the Balance Sheet as an addition to the
paid-up share capital.
5. When the shares are reissued at Discount, such discount is debited to Forfeited Shares Account.
6. If the shares are reissued at a price which is more than the nominal (face) value of the shares, the excess
amount is credited to Securities Premium Reserve Account.
7. In case the forfeited shares are reissued at a price higher than the paid-up value, the excess of issue
price over paid-up value is credited to ‘Securities Premium Reserve Account’.
• Private Placement of Shares: It refers to issue and allotment of shares to a selected group of persons. In
other words, an issue, which is not a public issue but offered to a selected group of persons, is called Private
Placement of Shares.

Working Notes:
1. Calculation of amount not paid by Ramesh on allotment:
(a) Number of shares applied by Ramesh:
20,000 shares allotted to applicants for 24,000
400 shares allotted to applicants who applied for 24,000/20,000 × 400 = 480 shares. `
(b) Ramesh paid only application money @ ` 2 on 480 shares 960
Less: Application money due on shares allotted (400 × ` 2) 800
Excess application money to be adjusted 160
(c) Allotment money due on 400 shares @ ` 5 2,000
Less: Excess money transferred from Shares Application A/c [WN 1(b)] 160
Amount not paid by Ramesh on allotment 1,840
2. Allotment money received = ` 1,00,000 – ` 8,000 – ` 1,840 = ` 90,160.
3. Since the question is silent as to utilisation of ` 160 (excess received on application from Ramesh) between
Share Capital and Securities Premium, it has been assumed that the entire excess of ` 160 is exclusively for
share capital and hence credited to Forfeited Shares Account.
4. The amount of ` 2,160 transferred from Forfeited Shares Account to Capital Reserve has been
calculated as:
`
Amount relating to shares of Ramesh (480 × ` 2) 960
Less: Discount allowed on reissue 400 560
Amount relating to shares of Mohan (400 × ` 5) 2,000
