    In accounting, the Share Capital Account is credited with the amount called-up, not the amount actually received.

    Given:
    Face value = Rs. 100
    Called-up amount = Rs. 75
    Received amount = Rs. 60

    👉 Even though only Rs. 60 is received, the company has called Rs. 75, so shareholders are liable for that full amount.

    Therefore:
    Share Capital Account = credited with Rs. 75 per share
    The unpaid Rs. 15 (75 − 60) is shown as Calls in Arrears

    Final Answer: Rs. 75 per share
