*The application for 600 shares (who was alloted 500 shares) has been refunded application money (including call-in-Advance) for 100 shares. i.e., Rs. 6,000-Rs. 5,000 = Rs. 1,000.
50,000 Shares have been allotted to applicants for 60,000 shares. This includes an applicant for 600 shares who was allotted 500 shares. Hence, applicants for 59,400 (i.e., 60,000 - 600) shares were allotted 49,500 (i.e., 50,000 - 500 ) shares.
2. Calculation of allotment money not paid by Ghosh:
`{:("(a) No. of shares allotted to Ghosh=50,000/60,000"xx"6,000=5,000 shares.",),(," Rs."),("(b) Applications money received on shares applied" ("6,000" xx Rs. 2),"12,000"),(" Less: Application money due to shares allotted"("5,000" xx Rs. 2),"10,000"),(" Excess application money adjusted on allotment",ulbar(" 2,000")),("(c) Allotment money due on shares allotted" ("5,000" xx 2),"10,000"),(" Less: Excess application money adjusted (b)"," 2,000"),(" Allotment money due on allotment but not paid by Ghosh",ulbar(ul(" 8,000"))):}`
