Dividend out of past reserves
This query is : Open
19 October 2010
As per provisions in the companies act, it is specifically mentioned that if a company incurs loss during the year, it can still declare dividend out of past reserves provided it fulfills all the 3 conditions.
1 condition out of that is - Max dividend which a company can declare in case of loss is - Average Rate of last 5 years dividend paid or 10% of paid up capital, whichever is less
Then how come a listed company like Indiabulls Securities (Auditor - Deloitte) declared 100% dividend for FY09 even though it reported net loss for that year.
Could some expert please enlighten me with the rules for distributing dividend in case of loss.
