01 April 2010 Hi Abhishek, what i understand here is that creditors waive 30% of their claims (i.e.30% of Rs. 1,80,000 i.e. Rs. 54,000)in exchange of there getting shares worth Rs. 30,000 in the co. Hence it is profit for the co. and the entry will be :
Creditors A/c Dr. 54,000
To Equity Share Capital A/c 30,000
To Capital Reduction A/c 24,000
