• A unit of capital or an equal portion of the share capital of an
organization divided, whose ownership is evidenced by a share
certificate is known as a Share. Simply put, shares are the
denominations of the share capital of an organisation.
• For example, if the total capital of ABC Ltd. is ₹10,00,000 and is
divided into 10,000 units of ₹100 each. Each unit of ₹100 will be
called a share. The share of a company is moveable in nature and

Association of the Company.
5. Issue of Shares at Par

to the face value of shares.

53. Call in arrears
Definition
If any amount that is called in respect of a share is not paid before or on the
date fixed for payment, such an amount is known as call in arrears. The
amount may be called by a company either as allotment money or call money.
Thus, any default arising due to the failure to send the call money is known as a
call in arrears.
A separate account is opened for calls in arrears. Companies can charge interest
on all such calls in arrears for the period that the amount remains unpaid. The
rate used is 5% p.a. The total of calls in arrears is shown in the balance sheet as
a deduction from the called-up capital.
54. Calls in
Advance
Definition
The money received by a company in excess of what has been
called up is known as calls in advance.
A company, if authorized by its articles, may accept calls in advance from
shareholders. If such an amount, which has not been called, is
received, the amount should be credited to a separate account
known as the calls in the advance account.
However, the amount that is not called should not be credited to the
capital account. A company may pay interest on such amounts received
in advance at the rate of 6% p.a. The amount that is received will be
adjusted toward the payment of calls as and when they become due.
55. Calls in Arrears and Calls in
Advance
Practical Problem 16

The first call is $25 three months after allotment,
with the balance to be called up as and when required.

holding 100 shares did not pay the amount due.
Another shareholder who was allotted 150 shares paid the entire amount of the shares
in the first call. Show the journal entries needed to record the above transactions,
including cash, and show how these appear in the balance sheet.
Solution : Calls in arrears = 25x100= 2500 and calls in advance = 50x150 =7500

61. Oversubscription - Prorate Allotment
Practical Problem 19
ABC Ltd. issued a prospectus inviting applications for 1,04,000 shares of Rs. 10 each at a
premium of Rs. 2 per share payable as follows:
Application = Rs. 2
Allotment = Rs. 5 (including premium)
First call = Rs. 3
Final call = Rs. 2
Applications were received for 1,56,000 shares and prorate allotment was made on the
application for 1,24,800 shares. It was decided to utilize excess application money towards
the amount due on allotment. Ramesh to whom 2,080 shares were allotted failed to pay
the allotment money.
Calculate the amount due but not received on allotment from Ramesh and also calculate
allotment money received later on.
62. Solution
Points to be noted:
1. Shares issued = 1,04,000 @10 each + 2 (premium).
2. Applications received =1,56,000 (oversubscription).
3. Prorate allotment = 124800 shares.
4. Ramesh failed allotment money on 2080 shares.
5. Due money not received on an allotment from Ramesh.
6. Allotment money received later on
63. a) Application money received on shares applied (2496 × 2) 4992
b) Less: shares allotted & Application money due on shares allotted (2080 × 2) 4,160
c) Excess application money (a − b) 832
d) Allotment money due on share allotted (2080 × 5) 10,400
e) Allotment money due but not received (10400 − 832) 9,568
1.Total number of shares applied by Ramesh = {2080×124800 / 104000} = 2496
2. Calculation of the amount due but not received on allotment from Ramesh
64. a) Allotment money due (104000 × 5) 5,20,000
b) Less: allotment money already received in the application stage
(1,24,800 - 1,04,000 = 20800 × 2)
(41,600)
c) Less: allotment money not received (10400 − 832) (9,568)
4,68,832
3. Calculation of allotment money received later on:
65. Oversubscription - Prorate Allotment
Practical Problem 20

application for 2,80,000 shares. It was decided to utilize excess application money towards
the amount due on allotment. Mohan to whom 4800 shares were allotted failed to pay the

66. Forfeiture of shares
Practical Problem 21
P Ltd. issued a prospectus inviting applications for 25000 shares of Rs. 10 each at a
premium of Rs. 2 per share payable as follows:
Application = Rs. 2
Allotment = Rs. 5 (including premium)
First call = Rs. 3
Final call = Rs. 2
Applications were received for 37500 shares and prorate allotment was made on
applications for 30000 shares. It was decided to utilize excess application money towards
the amount due on allotment. Ramesh who applied for 600 shares failed to pay the
allotment money and on his subsequent failure to pay the first call his shares were
forfeited Mahesh the holder of 750 shares failed to pay the two calls and on such failure,
his shares were forfeited. Reissued to Krishnan credited as fully paid for Rs. 9 per share
the whole of Ramesh’s shares being included.
67. Solution
1. No. of shares allotted to R = 600 × 25,000 / 30,000 = 500
2. Excess application money of Ramesh transferred to allotment
= (600 x 2 = 1200) – (500 x 2 =1000) = 200
3. Allotment money not received from R = 500 x5 = 2500 – 200 = 2300
