Reduction in share capital as per sec. 100 of the companies act occurs when
(1) extinguishing or reducing the liability on any of its shares in respect of share capital not paid up or
(2) cancelling any paid up share capital which is lost or is unrepresented by avaialable assets or
(3)paying off any paid up share capital which is in excess of the wants of the company.
Book value per share has nothing to do with the reduction in share capital. Its based on the net worth of the company while share capital reduction is not dependent upon the net worth.
In this case, the following has to be kept in mind:
- procedures as per companies act, 1956
- taxability u/s 50B of the income tax act, 1961
- stamp duty payable, if any, under the bombay stamp duty act, 1950
and the company should also appoint the consultant in this regard for completing the entire procedures and giving the advices.
