RCK Ltd issues a prospectus inviting the public to subscribe for 90 million ordinary shares of $2.00 each. The terms of the issue are that $1.00 is to be paid on application and the remaining $1.00 within one month of allotment.
Applications are received for 108 million shares during July 2018. The directors allot 90 million shares on 15 August 2018. All applicants receive shares on a pro rata basis. The amounts payable on allotment are due by 20 September 2018. By 20 September 2018 the holders of 18 million shares have failed to pay the amounts due on allotment. The directors forfeit the shares on 30 September 2018.
The shares are resold on 15 October 2018 as fully paid. An amount of $2.00 per share is received. The balance of forfeited shares is refunded on 20 October 2018.

Bank A/c $108,00,0000 ($108 million*$1=$ 108 million)
To Share application A/c $ 108,000,000
(being share application money received for 108 million shares at $ 1 each)

To Share Allotment A/c $ 18,000,000 (18 million Shares*$1= $ 18,000,000)
(being prorata allotment made)
Prorata is adjusting the excess application money against allotment and alloting small proportion of shares to all applicants less than they have applied on prorata basis)
For ex: if one has applied for 100 shares ,Under prorata allotment he will get 80 shares alloted and his excess application money will be alloted against his allotment money due)
Prorata is made when excess application money is received .All applicants are given chance on prorata basis rather than rejecting excess applications received
In this case the excess 18 million Over subscription is adjusted against allotment due . ( 90/108 is prorata allotment done here which means everyshare applicant will get 0.83% of number of shares they have appllied for)
