Once an application is received, the money is deposited into bank and the application account is transferred to share capital account. 

It is similar in the case of Allotment as well. Allotment is done on pro rate basis and who ever did not get the shares confirmed, the company will return back the money. Once allotments money is received, it is transferred to share capital account. Once again, first and final call follows the same procedure. 

So if you want to allot 5,000 shares to 7,000 share holders, you will use a pro rate calculation in allotting shares. I am attaching a link here and this website has many such journal entries which are useful: https://www.yourarticlelibrary.com/accounting/share/issue-of-share-at-par-journal-entries/46980

When the company decides to allot the shares at pro-rata basis, then it has to allot 10000 shares to the applicants of 20000 shares. Thus, the ratio will be 20000:10000 i.e. 2:1. Hence, an applicant for 2 shares will receive 1 share. This is Pro-rata allotment.

In the above, rights issue was made to the existing shareholders who are fully subscribed and paid up for already. So, find out, how many new shares are issued, how many applications have been received and how many share have been allotted.

From the above, one can understand, the money received from application and Allotment is debited to bank directly and credited to share capital account. You will only give the money back to the subscribers when they are not allotted any shares.

A good practice is to make sure that the plan developed by the farmer producer company is well documented. The plans of the farmer producer company should include the decision making process, the strategy, and how the farmer producer company will execute its plans to accomplish the set goals. This is important to ensure that the company maintains its focus on its business objectives while at the same time being able to respond effectively to changes in the environment.
