Treatment of security premium on re-issue of forfieted share

A/c entries 725 views 3 replies

X Ltd. forfieted 5 shares of rs 10 each issued at 10% premium to sham (rs 9 called up) on which he did not pay allotment (including premium) of rs 3 and first call of rs 2. Out of these 3 shares were re-issued to Ram as fully called up for rs 8 per share.

Can anybody explian me the logic of security premium credited in Re-issue

Bank Account                (3 * Rs 8)                                       Dr     24

Forfieted shares account                                                    Dr     9

               To  Share capital account (3 * Rs 10)                                          30

               To  Security premium account (3 * Rs 1)                                       3

the companies act specifies that securities premium should always be credited ,because it cn be useful in following cases

1.issue of fully paid up bonus shares to members

2.to write off against preliminary expenses

3.in case paying commission,discount allowed or for issue of debentures

4.redemption of debentures or prefernce shares

because of all the thngs cn only possible to a company wen pemium is to be credited..........nd have a beficial also

because earlier  sec. premium a/c debited at the time of forfietre...and at the time of  re issued, it is assumed that they are re issud at premium....so again sec. pre. a/c credited.

at the time of forfeitre entry is, if sec. prem. not received:

share capital a/c    Dr.

sec. prem. a/c       Dr.

     To 1st call a/c

    To alloment a/c

     To Share forfeiture a/c

Mr. Kanak is absolutely right.  Actually those shares which are initially issued on premium, if reissued after forfeiture are assumed to be issued on premium.  Hence out of Rs.8 received, Re. 1 is towards security premium/  Due to this treatment the security premium always remains in proportion to the number of shares issued.  For example in this case share capital will show Rs. 30 and Security Premium account will show Rs. 3 (10% of Rs.30, share capital).  I hope the whole matter is now clear.

I have just uploaded a video on youtube on cash book and petty cash book.  I will be grateful if you could give me your valuable feedback on that.   https://www.youtube.com/user/jbsclasses
