B. Calls in advance is shown under share capital

C. Securities premium can be used to issue fully paid bonus shares

D. Share forfeiture account is a capital gain

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Excess application money is adjusted against allotment (A). Securities premium may be applied to issue fully paid bonus shares (C). The share forfeiture balance is a capital profit and goes to Capital Reserve on reissue (D). Calls in advance is not part of share capital; under Schedule III it is shown as Other Current Liabilities, so B is wrong. Hence A, C and D only.
