Option 4: Rs. 6
Correct Answer: Rs.10
Solution : Answer = Rs.10
The share capital will be debited by No of share forfeited X called up money. In the above question called up money is Rs 10. The Share Capital Account will be debited with Rs. 10. This includes the nominal value of the share (Rs. 10) because it has been forfeited, and the premium amount (Rs. 2) is not returned to the shareholder upon forfeiture.
