There is no change in the cost of investment on issue of bonus shares. So, holding company will not pass any entry in the books of accounts. However, there will be change in disclosures made in notes to accounts as to change in number of shares invested in the company. Generally, the companies disclose the number of shares held in the company by way of notes to accounts.
