₹ 24,00,000 Explanation: Given balance = ₹8,00,000 20,000 equity shares of ₹10 each issued as bonus = ₹2,00,000 Remaining Securities Premium = 8,00,000 − 2,00,000 = ₹6,00,000 2,00,000 debentures of ₹100 each issued at 10% discount and redeemable at 5% premium. Discount = 10% of 2,00,000 $\times$ 100 = ₹20,00,000 Premium on Redemption = 5% of 2,00,000 $\times$ 100 = ₹10,00,000 Total Loss = ₹30,00,000 Remaining balance in Securities Premium = ₹6,00,000 used to write off. Balance Loss = 30,00,000 − 6,00,000 = ₹24,00,000
