Dividend


This query is : Resolved 

10 May 2016 Dear Experts,
Good Morning!
If we have accumulated Loss as on 1st April, 2015 (15,888 K) and there is Net profit in FY 2015 (During 1st April, 2015 to 31st March, 2016) amount 1,123 K
So as on 31st March, 2016 there is accumulated loss 14,765 K.
Can we distribute dividend to Shareholder using FY 2015 profit instead of Carried forward loss as per company act, 2013 and all updated rules and regulation for company act.
Regards,
