The [securities] premium account may, notwithstanding anything in sub-section (1), be applied by the company-
(a) in paying up unissued shares of the company to be issued to members of the company as fully paid bonus shares;
(b) in writing off the preliminary expenses of the company;
(c) in writing off the expenses of, or commission paid or discount allowed on, any issue of shares or debentures of the company; or
(d) in providing for the premium payable on the redemption of any redeemable preference shares or of any debentures of the company.
If all the expenses can fall in Point (c) in writing off the expenses of, or commission paid or discount allowed on, any issue of shares or debentures of the company then the treatment is correct
