can a private company issue shares on premium in case of losses during the previous year
11 September 2012
Yes a pvt ltd company can issue shares at a premium in case of losses during the previous year. But please be aware of Section 56(2)(viib) of the income tax act.
Budget 2012-13 has a very strong provision for curbing black money practices. One of the easiest way to convert black money to white was through share premium of private limited companies which used to create a company, accepting huge premium on a very small paid up capital and then selling the company at very small price per share. Budget 2012-13 has plugged the loophole in the Income Tax Act .
