I think you should refund the excess application money.
In a private co., it is already known to whom will the shares be alloted and how much shares per person. will be alloted. There should not be a question of receiving excess application money.

Hi Surabhi
In my opinion, there is no penal provisions if a pvt company receives application money beyond Authorised
Share Capital. But the money received has to be only from among members or relatives of members, directors
as per provisions of 3(1)(iii) (d).
Also Rule 2(b)(ix) of Companys ( Acceptance of Deposit) Rules 1975 states
"any amount received from the person who at the time of receipt of the amount was a director or a shareholder of
the private company, then such amount will not be treated as deposit within the meaning of deposit rules.".
You need to ensure the money received extra as application money for authorised share capital is not out of any
borrowing or borrowed funds.
So get a letter or declaration from the person concerned in favour of company that the amount given out is not
from the borrowed funds or funds accepted by others.
Record the excess application money exceeding ASC (Authorised), in minutes and take note of the same in the Board meeting.
Update the register for excess share application money.
The application money excess received can be used as Paid up Share Capital (PSC), only on allotment.
Experts please advice if i have missed out on any aspect.

Santosh is right but generally in pvt. co. total value of shares are received in lumpsum in application money...
Then how to treat that money...? I think it can be treated as "Unsecured loan".

Hi Shridhi
In my view, I dont think it can be treated as " Unsecured Loan".
If its excess application money, that needs to fall under the head Share application money
under head " Share Capital" of B/S. Moreover we are recording the money received in Share application register.
Its Pvt Ltd Co. Treating as unsecured loan may attract the provisions of Section 58A/AA as
" Accepting Deposits".
Experts Please advice. My view may be wrong too.

in the past share application was used to be shown under the heading share capital. now a trend is being followed under which share application money is being shown undr head current liabilities because it can be asked to be returned by applicant if allotment has not been made

As per revised schedule VI applicable effective from 01-4-11. Share application money has to be shown as a separate line item under share holders fund.
