A compamy has cumulative preference share capital of Rs. 2 crore. for the year ending 07, 08 the company doesn't had profits to pay the dividend but during the year 08-09 it paid the dividend for the years ending 07, 08 out of the profits of the year 08-09. After paying the dividend of earlier years it doesn't have enough profits to pay dividend of the year 08-09 but the company has enough bank deposits. Is it possile to pay dividend in advance even though the company doesn't have enough profits
