3. Shares have been forfeited before the first call. Called-up money up to allotment is Rs. 5 per share. But shares have been reissued before the second call for Rs. 9 as Rs. 8 paid-up. It means Rs. 8 is transferred to Share Capital Account and Rs. 1 be transferred to Securities Premium Reserve Account. No discount has been allowed on the reissue of forfeited shares. Therefore, money forfeited on these shares is a gain and transferred to Capital Reserve.
