As per the ammendment in AS 4, Proposed Dividend is not a liability which is to be recognised in books of accounts but is only contingent in nature untill declared. So, dividend payable to be only recognised when declared.
If in case a company has shown proposed dividend, it is an error on part of the company and should be rectified.
Journal Entry for the cancellation of Proposed Dividend be:
Proposed Dividend Dr.
To General Reserves/ P/L
In both the chapters of Amalgamation and Consolidation, before starting the question, pass the rectification entry and solve the question normally.
Hope this helps!!
