Which of the following are related to forfeiture of shares issued on premium :

(A) Share capital is debited with called up amount

(B) Calls in Advance is credited

(C) Share Forfeiture Account is credited with amount received

(D) Premium received on such Shares is debited, if it is received

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

On forfeiture, Share Capital A/c is debited with the called-up amount (A) and Share Forfeiture A/c is credited with the amount actually received on capital (C). Securities Premium already received is never debited or cancelled on forfeiture, so (D) is incorrect; it is debited only when the premium was called but not received. Calls in Advance (B) is unrelated. Hence (A) and (C) only.
