For 200 share which were reissued , the co received Rs 600 (200*3 on application)

Co reissued the above shares at discount of Rs 2 per share = 2*200 = Rs 400

Balance remaining in the share forfieture a/c (for these 200 shares) = Rs 200 (600-400).

Therefore Rs 200 is transfered to Capital Reserves A/c.

The balance in Share Forfieture A/c of Rs 300 ( representing rs 3 received on 100 shares) will be transfered to capital reserves when these 100 share will be reissued.
