Detailed Solution & Explanation

To calculate the balance of Capital Redemption Reserve (CRR) as on 31st March, 2025:
1. CRR is required to be created under Section 55 (redemption of preference shares out of free reserves) and Section 68 (buyback of equity shares out of free reserves).
2. CRR created for preference share redemption = 200\displaystyle `\,200 Lakhs (nominal value of redeemed preference shares).
3. CRR created for buyback of equity shares = 8,00,000×10=80\displaystyle 8,00,000 \times `\,10 = `\,80 Lakhs (nominal value of shares bought back).
4. Total CRR created = 200+80=280\displaystyle 200 + 80 = `\,280 Lakhs.
5. Closing CRR balance = Opening CRR (50\displaystyle 50) + CRR Created (280\displaystyle 280) = 330\displaystyle `\,330 Lakhs.
Hence, **Option B** is the correct answer.
