Share Forfeiture of 300 shares held by C	₹	300	Cr.
Total Share Forfeiture credit (at the time of cancellation of shares)	₹	950

Calculation of Capital Reserve

Total Share Forfeiture (at the time of cancellation of shares) = ₹ 950

Less: Total Share Forfeiture (at the time of re-issue of shares) = ₹ (200)

Capital Reserve = ₹ 750
