According to the audited financials of 31st Mar 2010, a company is having free cap reserve of say Rs.1cr and as per the unaudited financials of 30th Sep 2010 the company is having cap res of Rs.1.5 crore. Now the company is going for a bonus issue in November and my query is, whether the company can issue bonus for the cap res according to the audited fin of 31st MAr 2010 or whether it can issue bonus for the cap res as per the unaudited fin of 30th Sep 2010.
More specifically: 1. what should be the Bal Sheet date for rekoning the reserves. 2. Is it necessary that reserves shall be as per the audited Bal sheet.
