28 October 2010 Hey I dont agree with Cs Vanita

Since for the reduction of share capital there r some special sections in Companies Act,1956 i.e. section 100-105\

Buy back of shares will not amount to reduction of share capital so the company need not have to follow the stringent provisiions of section 100

29 October 2010 I didn't say that we have to follow the procedures of Section 100-105 for buy back but what i meant was the shares bought back has the effect of reduction of share capital.

03 November 2010 I agree with Vanita completely.....

Effect of buy back of shares will be reduction in the paid up share capital of the Company..... though you do not have to follow the procedure prescribed for reduction of share capital prescribed under section 100 of the Companies Act, 1956
