Generally General reserves are created by company for meeting contigencies but Under some provisions of companies Act,2013 has precribed uses of general reserves like
Under section 123 of the Act if company don't have profit for declaration of dividend then conpany pay dividend out of reserves (Rule 3 of that chapter prescribes that)
Oher uses like buy back of shares,issuing fuy paid up bonus .
