Best answer

Answer: 22,000 shares allotted; equity share capital ₹ 22,00,000 fully called and paid (application ₹ 4,40,000, allotment ₹ 6,60,000, first call ₹ 4,40,000, second and final call ₹ 6,60,000).

The issue is under-subscribed (22,000 applications against 25,000 shares offered), so shares are allotted only to the 22,000 applicants; there is no excess application money and no calls in arrears.
