Quick Revision Takeaways

Common Exam Pitfalls to Avoid

⚠️ Common Error: Debiting Share Capital with full Rs. 100 when only Rs. 80 was called up.

✓ Correct Approach: Always multiply forfeited shares by called-up amount.

Why: Uncalled capital was never credited to Share Capital in the first place.

⚠️ Common Error: Transferring the full Share Forfeiture balance to Capital Reserve upon partial re-issue.

✓ Correct Approach: Transfer capital profit only for the actual number of shares re-issued.

Why: Surplus on un-reissued shares must stay in Share Forfeiture on the Balance Sheet.
