It is adjusted either by bank and p&l in case of post acquisition AND P&l and investment in case of Pre acquisition( if cr wrongly before ) But, how to adjust the balance amount of dividend for minority shareholders?

It's normal payment of dividend. So, the entry will be(assuming no entry for payment of dividend is passed) Profit and Loss A/c. Dr. To Bank A/c You don't have to do anything in the Minority Interest working note. Just make sure to reduce the amount from Profit and Loss A/c in Analysis of Profit of Subsidiary and from its Bank A/c.

But, in one sum in SM, they reduced the dividend from minority interest. That's why i had a doubt.

I cannot see any reduction in dividend from minority interest. The amount of Rs. 22,500 reduced in the working note is for profit and loss A/c.
They have not adjusted the dividend in Minority interest. Rs. 150,000 is share capital, Rs. 90,000 is opening balance of Profit and Loss A/c and Rs. 30,000 is profit earned during the year. Then after that they reduced entire amount of Rs. 22,500 from this. That means they have passed the entry Profit and Loss A/c Dr. 22,500 To Bank A/c. 22,500 (Being payment of Dividend)

No, your working is not correct. You have to reduce the amount of dividend from Profit and Loss A/C first. Then you should calculate the Minority Interest. The working given by ICAI is correct. Maybe a faculty will explain this better to you.

Actually sathya sir taught this method of calculation bcoz the book methods are somewhat confusing. Are you a student of indigolearn, are you aware of this method of calculation.

Madhaan SI worked out.
Why did you add back dividend? The question mentions that the company has earned profit of 30,000 during the year. This is before payment of dividend. Remove that 22,500 addition and your answer will match with ICAI solution.
