Edvaya · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Nil. Total Application Money Received = $2,00,000 	imes 30 = ₹60,00,000$. Application Money Required for 80,000 shares = $80,000 	imes 30 = ₹24,00,000$. Excess Application Money = $60,00,000 - 24,00,000 = ₹36,00,000$. Amount Due on Allotment = $80,000 	imes 20 = ₹16,00,000$. Since the excess application money (₹36,00,000) is more than the amount due on allotment (₹16,00,000), the entire allotment due is covered. Hence, no further amount is received at the time of allotment (Nil).
