Date	Particulars			L.F.	Debit Amount (₹)	Credit Amount (₹)
	Share Capital A/c		Dr.		20,000
		To Final Call A/c				2,000
		To Share Forfeiture A/c				18,000
	(1,000 Shares of 20 per share forfeited for nonpayment of Share Final Call money @ ₹2 per share)
	Bank A/c (400×14)		Dr.		5,600
	Share Forfeiture A/c (400×6)		Dr.		2,400
		To Share Capital A/c				8,000
	(400 shares @ ₹20 per share reissued for ₹14 per share fully paid-up)
	Bank A/c		Dr.		4,000
		To Share Capital A/c				4,000
	(200 shares @ ₹20 per share reissued for ₹20 per share fully paid-up)
	Share Forfeiture A/c		Dr.		8,400
		To Capital Reserve				8,400
	(Balance of 600 shares in Share Forfeiture Account transferred to Capital Reserve Account, after reissue)

Balance in Share Forfeiture Account (18,000 - 10,800) = Rs 7,200

Working Notes:

For 400 Shares

Share Forfeiture Account credited	₹18 per share
Less: Share Forfeiture Account debited	₹6 per share
Amount  transferred to Capital Reserve Account, after adjustment	₹12 per share

Amount of 400 shares transferred to Capital Reserve Account, after reissue 

= 400 Shares @ ₹ 12 per share

= Rs 4,800

For 200 Shares

Share Forfeiture Account credited	₹18 per share
Less: Share Forfeiture Account debited	Nil
Amount  transferred to Capital Reserve Account, after adjustment	₹18 per share

Amount of 200 shares transferred to Capital Reserve Account, after reissue

= 200 Shares @ Rs 18 per share

= ₹3,600

 

Total amount transferred to capital reserve account for 600 shares

=Capital reserve for 400 shares + capital reserve for 200 shares 

= 4,800+3,600

= 8,400

Note: As per the answer amount transferred to capital reserve is ₹6,800 however, it is not correct as the shares reissued at a discount will be provided through Share Forfeiture Account and the valance will be ​₹8,400.
