A Company is not having sufficient revenue for giving arrears of salary but it has huge balance in general reserves.

Method 1:
Can it debit General Reserve directly

Method 2:
or the arrears of salary has to pass through P&L A/c only and later on debit balance in Accmuluated P&L is set-off against General Reserves. In that case, P&L will show a loss but if former is the case, P&L will continue showing profit.

Personally, i think method 2 only is allowed as arrears of salary is an expenditure and has to be matched against revenue to find out Net Profit in spirit of AS 5.
Though company is insisting on method 1, Can it be allowed?

hello frnds
i hv a doubt which relates to refund of TDS.

The company paid TDS on commission payable to managing director subject to approval of shareholders in the month of March, 2008 ie FY 2007-08. The shareholders did not approve the payment of commission in the AGM held after the close of the year.
